Inductive reasoning (to indicate the ability to dive into and solve complex problems). I call it the Sherlock Holmes ability. I think this is a great developer ability, especially for debugging. 💩 will hit the fan and when it does, inductive reasoning increases the probability that you look for the reason in the right place.
