On my own code I don't need debuggers, that is the scenario that Linus is talking about -- is Robert C. Martin a renowned programmer? :-) For other people's Python code, especially if they mistakenly think that Python is Haskell, I do need a debugger. I've seen "scientific" Python code that is iterators all the way down and can only be understood by running the program. Of course no actual science is being done with such programs, but that doesn't seem to matter.
