Segmentation fault! Low-level debugging for JS developers

Speaking on 15:50 at Serafeio

JavaScript developers may not often face segmentation faults, but low-level debugging skills can be invaluable for diagnosing crashes and other issues in server-side JavaScript applications. This talk provides an overview of how native debuggers and tracing tools can help investigate issues that would otherwise be out of reach for JS developers, such as crashes or memory leaks that straddle the boundary between high-level JS code and native C or C++ APIs.
