Level Up Your Console Logging Game
February 9, 2026
When debugging JavaScript, don't just spam `console.log(variable)`. If you need to see the name of the variable alongside its value, especially when tracking multiple values through complex functions, try logging it using object shorthand: `console.log({variable})`. Instead of just seeing '42' in the console, you'll see `{variable: 42}`. This small organizational change makes scanning through hundreds of logs infinitely easier and clarifies exactly which value belongs to which variable instantly.
