Debug.Me is a multi-purpose extension for Visual Studio Code, with its primary goal of helping users learn rather than just copy code. It has two modes, debug and brainstorm. Debug will read terminal errors as well as the code that was responsible for it and explain these issues in simple, understandable terms. Brainstorm is a place where users can bounce ideas off the assistant, who will guide them with questions but ultimately let the users make their own decisions. Learn while you debug!
