Debugging

1. TDD: mix test with the test's file path & line number
2. interactive shell: iex for running smaller blocks, also its commands i & h;
   iex -S mix phx.server then importing & calling functions, queries, requests, etc.
3. printing: binding() |> IO.inspect()
4. Code Runner for running larger blocks
5. VSCode debugger's breakpoints
