The “Bug-O” Notation

This article introduces the 'Bug-O' notation, a concept that measures how much an API slows down a developer's debugging process as the codebase grows. It contrasts this with the Big-O notation for algorithmic complexity, arguing that API design choices significantly impact the ease of finding and fixing bugs, using a practical DOM update example to illustrate the problem.
