I actually really miss the introspection tools of native app debugging and reverse engineering when I have to poke at anything web. It starts with “what do you mean I don’t have a CLI debugger interface” and just gets worse from there. nm, strings, ldd, ktrace/dtrace/etc - mostly rather lacking out of the box for poking at web apps afaict. I’d love to be shown wrong though by a wonderful kit of tools I just don’t yet know about.
