Most JS Devs think debugging is just console.log(), that's nice and all, but it's not connecting a debugger, adding breakpoints, and watching the data go around

Most JS Devs think debugging is just console.log(), that's nice and all, but it's not connecting a debugger, adding breakpoints, and watching the data go around.
The amount of times I've caught issues with just a simple game of follow the calls and objects around with the debugger.
As soon as I got to the part where they just upgraded a bunch of libraries.. I rolled my eyes, I was expecting a serious look at something, perhaps even a bug in Firebase or something in-depth. But nope, what we got was "Ooops I didn't think about the number of API/DB calls we were making because we don't think that way, we just assume everything is the fault of the libraries we use."
That kind of attitude is why I cannot wait to abandon JS all together..
