My puts Debugging Workflow in Rails Apps

This article details a developer's workflow for debugging Ruby on Rails applications using puts statements. It introduces the dbg-rb gem, a tool inspired by Rust's dbg! macro, which prints labeled, source-located output for easier debugging. The author explains how to integrate this tool into a Rails project, even bypassing strict code reviews by not adding it to the Gemfile, and contrasts it with traditional debugging methods.
