Parallel Debugging

This is a structured approach to debugging when you're stuck with multiple plausible causes and don't want to chase the wrong lead. It organizes investigation around six failure categories (logic errors, data issues, state problems, integration failures, resource issues, and environment), forces you to gather real evidence with file and line citations, and uses confidence levels to arbitrate between competing explanations. The framework is heavy on process, which sounds bureaucratic until you've burned hours on confirmation bias or missed a compound bug because you stopped after finding one issue. Works best when the bug is genuinely ambiguous and you need systematic elimination rather than quick intuition.
