I’d call the debugger a nuclear powered print statement. Printing allows you to view particular state at a specific point in program flow; this is often all that is necessary to identify the bug. Doing the same thing with a debugger is amazingly inefficient.
...obviously this is mildly fascetious, but I want to point out the absurdity of assuming debugging is a difficult endeavor. That’s how it becomes a difficult endeavor.
