While dog-fooding it with teammates, we noticed we kept joking about how people debug differently—some spray console.log, others refactor half the codebase before looking at the stack trace. That led to this spin-off: Mini Debug Quiz 60-second, no-signup quiz that tells you which of three “debugging archetypes” you match: - Log Sniper – surgical grep/log hunter - Rubber-Duck Sage – talks problems into submission - Over-Optimizer – refactors first, asks later

It’s anonymous; no email needed. When you finish, you get a clay-style illustration, a short profile, and a share link to compare results with friends.
Why I built it: Wanted an ultra-low-friction taste of the bigger quiz. Curious how debugging styles distribute in the wild. Fun excuse to learn GA4 event pipelines.
What’s different: 5 questions → result in under a minute. Share loop shows live stats of all who took the link. Data will be published (aggregated) once we hit 1 000 completions.
Would love feedback on: Are the archetypes accurate or missing nuances? Any friction in the flow? Ideas for visualizing the aggregated stats.
Happy to answer anything—thanks for checking it out!

814 developers have taken the 60-second Debug Quiz.
Archetype spread: - Log Sniper — 41 % - Rubber-Duck Sage — 36 % - Over-Optimizer — 23 %
A few surprises: I expected Duck Sages to dominate because dev-Twitter loves rubber-duck stories, but Log Snipers are still top. Mobile completion rate is 12 % higher than desktop (didn’t see that coming). Roughly 14 % of finishers shared their result link—way higher than my blog posts ever get.
