... so this is where the index is...

Why?

Because the loop would...

Why are those yellow?

Syntax highlighting. Now, the loop would...

Can I play Minecraft?

Not now. The loop...

Why not?

I am working and need the laptop.

Why?

Because my job...

Can I play Minecraft?

If your toddler replaces "why" with "can I play minecraft", it has probably expired (at least with regards to its job as a debugging tool) and you might consider getting a fresh one.

My job is to be a toddler 🤦‍♂️

Quality systems or management cause I'm both and do all the time?

You jest, but just wait until people actual start using this.

I'd prefer kids being exploited for debugging than meat packing plants. probably pays better, too. Snack-to-work ratio seems higher, also.

hey. Uh. I'm not a kid, but I can be a dumb fuck... if anyone's hiring...

Yes, but the "toddler debugging"isn't a real thing.... yet

One of the commonly taught techniques for Root Cause Analysis is "five whys". Literally, just ask why up to fives times. Yes the Wikipedia page lists criticisms and yes, they include that sometimes 5 isn't enough, or that asking irrelevant whys or hitting the limits of your deeper knowledge or wandering into the wrong line of inquiry will all mislead you.

But I've had massively overpaid consultants at multiple companies explain to rooms full of adults that asking "why" can sometimes help you find the cause of problems.
