That’s when I remembered the secret weapon in Visual Studio 2022. It wasn't a fancy AI or a new compiler. It was an unassuming little file tucked away in the installation directory: —The Visual Studio Remote Debugger.
Later that week, a junior dev named Priya asked me, “How did you debug a server with no monitor?”
List<string> routeStops = GetStopsFromCache(); string lastStop = routeStops[routeStops.Count]; // OFF BY ONE ERROR On my machine, the cache had 5 items. On Beta-12, due to a corrupted cache file, it had 0. Index routeStops.Count pointed to index 5 (or 0), which threw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException .
I didn't need to deploy test code. I didn't need log files. I fixed it live (well, in a debug session) by changing the line to routeStops[routeStops.Count - 1] . I tested three scenarios. The remote server purred like a kitten.
