(I’m writing more about programming things I’ve learned.)
In Ruby, the pry gem lets you call binding.pry in your code, so that when it runs, you get dropped into a breakpoint. From there, you can play around with variables and methods, just like you would in a REPL.
Today I learned what binding actually is — it’s an object containing the current execution context at the point it’s called. Effectively, it’s a snapshot of the state of your program.

Why was the meek programmer bad at debugging?
Because he didn’t like to pry!
