Newbie question about debugging and troubleshooting

[john e]

I recently read about strace, a nice utility to get all sorts of good
info from a repeatable bug ( eg: strace /bin/buggy_program )
lsof has helped in some cases. (eg: lsof /home)

Are there anymore the devs would recommend, I'd especially like to
know on that'll read the exit code from the last progam ran.
eg:
bash> ls
error ... crash bang boom
bash> read_last_error
last exit code was 3
bash>_
