Kernighan https://twitter.com/codewisdom/status/867818359840280576 https://twitter.com/codewisdom/status/867818359840280576 Sometimes I think if you’re spending too much time in a debugger, you’re already lost. Your program is doing something that you didn’t correctly plan for, or build tolerances to handle gracefully. And if you’re using a debugger to fiddle with variable manipulation at that level, then you’ll probably just make your program even more unstable. But granted, sometimes you do need a debugger, when you’re using someone else’s library.
