Emoji Debugging

Definitions

1. A playful style of tracing program flow by sprinkling logs with distinct emojis so events are easier to spot visually in noisy output. It is informal but surprisingly common during rapid debugging.

   In plain English: Using emoji in logs so it is easier to visually follow what code is doing.

   Example: "I resorted to emoji debugging just to separate webhook retries from first-pass events."
