> debugger helps save time by not having to constantly set up that state to see how things have occurred Absolutely. I found out very quickly in my career that I can either stare into the code for hours to see the tiny mistake, or spend 10 minutes stepping through the code to let it tell me what's wrong. But, it is of course more difficult if you have to debug a complex code base that you don't know. It might take you hours to even know where to place debuggers. So, it can be time consuming, but of course it's still orders of magnitude faster than staring into the code, trying to see where the issue is.
