Stage 1: Confidently approaching the bug like you know exactly what you're doing. Stage 2: Realizing you have no idea what's happening and frantically trying different solutions.

The cave painting aesthetic really drives home how debugging is a primal human experience that transcends time. Our ancestors dealt with their bugs (probably literal ones), and we deal with ours. The only difference is they used spears and we use console.log() statements. Neither approach is particularly sophisticated, but here we are.
Fun fact: The term "debugging" actually originated in 1947 when engineers found an actual moth stuck in a computer relay. So yes, debugging started with literal bugs, and somehow we've made it exponentially more complicated since then.
