Brian Kernighan, a pioneering contributor to the Unix operating system and co-author of the influential C programming language book, articulated this challenge with a profound observation: &ldquo;Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you&rsquo;re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?&rdquo;</p>
