+Every developer has a war story about finding and fixing a bug in production. Whether it's a race condition that only appears under load, a timezone calculation gone wrong, or a subtle interaction between two services—production bugs teach us the most valuable lessons.
+
+This week, let's talk about **debugging in production**: the tools, techniques, and mindsets that help us find root causes fast and ship fixes with confidence.
+
+Discussion starters:
+
+- What's the most interesting production bug you've debugged? What made it tricky to find?
+- What tools have been game-changers for you: logs, distributed tracing, profilers, debuggers, monitoring, or something else?
+- How do you balance moving fast with being careful when something is broken in production?
+- What's a debugging lesson you learned the hard way that changed how you build systems?
+
+Everyone and anyone is welcome to [join](https://weeklydevchat.com/join/) as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Zoom link will be posted at 12pm MDT.
