After 30 years debugging logs, I built something to make it easier
After 30 years as a .NET developer, one thing hasn’t changed — debugging logs is still painful.
No matter how good the system is, you eventually end up staring at:
massive stack traces
logs full of noise
trying to figure out what actually caused the issue
I found myself repeatedly spending way too long just trying to isolate the root cause.
So I built a small tool to help:
👉 Paste logs → it extracts:
root cause
key errors
suggested fixes
a deeper technical breakdown
It uses AI under the hood, but the goal is simple:
Save time when debugging.
I’ve been using it for a bit and it’s actually helped me cut down debugging time, so I decided to put it online.
Would love feedback from other developers:
Is this something you’d use?
What would make it more useful?
This sounds interesting and useful but this is what I do when I can't figure out: just copy my log text and paste into Claude/ChatGPT/whatever AI and it gives me the explanation. So, how is your tool different from them?
Yeah, that’s totally fair — I’ve done the same thing myself.
That’s actually what led me to build this.
The difference I was aiming for is more about workflow than raw capability:
You don’t have to think about how to prompt it
The output is consistently structured (root cause, errors, fixes, etc.)
It’s quicker to scan when you’re in the middle of debugging
I’m also experimenting with adding a deeper “technical breakdown” instead of just a general explanation
So it’s less about replacing ChatGPT/Claude, and more about removing a few steps and making the output easier to use when you’re already in the middle of debugging something.
Curious if you’d find that useful or if pasting into ChatGPT already works well enough for you?
