> If you'd ask any of my colleagues what they'd do if there was a new policy saying use of debuggers were no longer permitted on a daily basis, the answer would more likely than not include the word "riot". I’d imagine you’d have the same effect if you mandated the use of debuggers. And hey, I’m not arguing against their use, just saying they aren’t needed for most debugging. I would bet the vast majority of bugs in managed languages have bugs that are easily discernable if you have decent type/assertion boundaries. Needing to use a debugger is certainly a smell about your code.
