  #MobileDebugging: Round 4 Winners 🔥🔥🔥

The first place and the winner of the most read award go to @induction’s story with 1,607 reads:

Debugging blockchain apps is a critical step to ensure their functionality, reliability, compatibility, and security. By identifying potential attack vectors, testing on private and public blockchain networks, and staying up-to-date on blockchain documentation, developers can create reliable and secure blockchain apps that function as intended for users from all around the world.

Congratulations @induction, on taking the first place and winning $600! Well-deserved 🔥

In the second place, we have @mikeynyzw’s story on practical uses of ChatGPT for debugging:

With ChatGPT, you can ask what an error means, and walla, it gives you an answer, no clicking on links and sorting through comments. This cutting-edge AI technology is changing the game for software developers, allowing them to write code faster, better, and with greater ease.

Congratulations @mikeynyzw! You have won $300!

Last but not least, the third place goes to @danigrant’s story on Bug Reporting:

We’ve all experienced the frustration of dealing with unclear bug reports that lack the necessary context to solve the issue. That's why a year ago, a few of us started imagining a better way. What if we could build a new tool that modernizes bug reporting and could solve the problem of unclear bug reports, reduce the need for back-and-forth communication, and save engineers' time and energy?

Congratulations, Dani, on winning $100!!

Congratulations again to all the winners! We will contact you all shortly. Till then, keep calm and keep on submitting #mobiledebugging stories! Visit contests.hackernoon.com to learn more about currently running contests.
