That's less not needing a debugger by design, more how challenging it is to debug an operating system.

- tropo 8y agoThose last two (speaker and clock) yes, but otherwise no. Linus Torvalds really doesn't like using a debugger and he'd rather you didn't use one either. His words: https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/debuggers.html https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/debuggers.html
- pmarreck 8y agoHe's not wrong. I still maintain that debuggers are a design smell.
- Too 8y agoWow. Lets add some sleep in the compiler also so people will think harder about their code before compiling?
- tropo 8y agoI think that is excessive, but it isn't entirely wrong. I worked at a place with builds that took over 8 hours. We sure would think hard about our code.
