WORK IN PROGRESS
Debugging is a term usually related to [computer](computer.md) technology (but sometimes also extended beyond it) where it stands for the practice of actively searching for [bugs](bug.md) (errors, design flaws, defects, ...) and fixing them; most typically it happens in software [programming](programming.md), but we may also talk about debugging [hardware](hardware.md) etc. Debugging is notoriously tedious and stressful, it can even take majority of the programmer's time and some bugs are extremely hard to track down, however systematic approaches can be applied to basically always succeed in fixing any bug.

Debugging is sometimes humorously defined as "replacing old bugs with new ones".
Fun fact: the term *debugging* allegedly comes from the old times when it meant LITERALLY getting rid of bugs that broke computers by getting stuck in the relays.
