+### Debugging Tips
+
+printf debugging is going to be very useful as you are figuring things out.
+To do this, use `console.log`, but you'll need to `ts-ignore` it.
+Write something like this:
+```ts,diff
+function checkSomething(n: Node) {
+    doSomething(n);
++   // @ts-ignore DEBUG CODE ONLY, REMOVE ME WHEN DONE
++   console.log(`Got node with pos = ${n.pos}`);
+    doSomethingElse(n);
+}
+```
+We have a lot of enums so you might want to print back their symbolic name, to do this, index back into the name of the enum
+```ts
+   // @ts-ignore DEBUG CODE ONLY, REMOVE ME WHEN DONE
+   console.log(`Got node with kind = ${SyntaxKind[n.kind]}`);
+```
