[Sugar-devel] Requesting the 2nd Feedback, made changes after getting the feedback.

[Anurag Mishra]

Is that all the feedback you have for me? I’ve removed that section to keep
the focus on my contributions rather than personal details.

I appreciate your insights! Could you share any other areas where I can
further improve?
Regards

>> Dear Sugar Labs Community,

>> on feedback about enhancing the UX and expanding the debugging scope, I’ve
>> made some exciting updates. Here’s what’s changed:
>> 1. Enhanced UX for the Debugger Panel
>>
>>    - Original: A basic side panel with LLM suggestions.
>>    - Updated: The “Debug with Helper” button now opens a dynamic side
>>    panel that:
>>    - Highlights the error line (e.g., for i in range(3) missing a
>>       colon).
>>       - Shows a chat-style LLM tip (e.g., “Oops! Your for needs a :—can
>>       you spot it?”).
>>       - Offers interactive buttons: “Hint,” “Example,” and “Tell Me
>>       More” for deeper guidance.
>>       - Updates as the user revises code, styled in Sugar’s bright,
>>       kid-friendly aesthetic.
>>       - Why: This makes debugging engaging and intuitive, letting kids
>>    explore at their pace. I’ve attached a mockup (Pippy_Debugger_Mockup.png)
>>    to visualize it!
>>
>> 2. Broader Debugging Scope: Flow and Logic
>>
>>    - Original: Focused mainly on syntax errors.
>>    - Updated: Now handles program flow and logic too:
>>    - Uses ast to spot flow issues (e.g., infinite loops: “This while
>>       never stops—how can we end it?”).
>>       - Probes logic errors (e.g., “You wanted 10, but it prints 5—check
>>       range(5)!”).
>>       - Combines code and output for context-aware tips.
>>       - Why: Beginners struggle with more than syntax, so this ensures
>>    well-rounded support.
>>
>> 3. Teaching Debugging Strategies
>>
>>    - Original: Gave hints but didn’t teach methods.
>>    - Updated: The LLM now suggests techniques:
>>    - “Try print(i) here to see what’s happening!”
>>       - “Test just the loop—comment out the rest.”
>>       - “What did you expect? Let’s check!”
>>       - Progressive hints escalate from vague to specific.
>>       - Why: This builds debugging skills, not just fixes, aligning with
>>    Sugar’s educational goals.
>>
>> These updates make the debugger a true learning companion. I’d still love
>> your thoughts on the panel’s usability, the flow/logic approach, and
>> strategy guidance. Updated draft is attached/linked:
>> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kDaOTUjNIghWLVJUuLWUtLNLC9XB3hWYoDoOO_kWGV4/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.7ajmtdnyhjmz.
>> I’ll hop on #sugar IRC soon to chat more. Thanks again!
>> Best,
>> Anurag Mishra
