Add "dbg" section in the "Debugging" guide
I think we can remove the IO.inspect section? If we want to keep it, I would have this new section after IO.inspect, as it is easier to use than Pry. :)
Ah, sure! I think IO.inspect/1 is a good intro to the debugging. I'll move the dbg section before breakpoints though.
I am thinking there is no benefit in talking about IEx.pry directly. We should just teach how to use it through “dbg” API and talk about breaks too. WDYT?
I don't have a strong preference. I like to talk about pry too because other folks might be more used to something like that. Maybe if the community moves to dbg more in the future, we can revisit this 🤔

pry is very Ruby specific though and I think having too many options can actually be confusing because people won't know which one to reach out too. That's one of the points of dbg, so we should rally behind it.
