Many developers waste hours fixing bugs that keep coming back, even after seemingly successful fixes. This leads to frustration and lost productivity. Create a tool that integrates with IDEs to track recurring bugs. It would suggest proven fixes based on patterns in the codebase and offer prevention tips. Sell to development teams who want to reduce debugging time. Charge a monthly fee based on team size. The first version could simply track error frequencies and link them to common fixes documented online. Later versions could learn from a team's own successful fixes. The biggest risk is failing to provide actionable insights. Start with a narrow focus on one programming language.
