Yes, and it saves me hours every day in javascript and python. I'm amazed how few people are taught debuggers along with code. I really think that the first thing that should be taught to new programmers is a scripting languge in an environment with tab completion and a debugger. This way they would learn to code rather than learning to memorize runes and search for copypasta.
- ansraliant 5y agoSimilar situation here. I use debugger on js and python extensively too, however, I do have a couple of frontend devs that I can't seem to make them use a debugger, even though I showed them the benefits of it, yet they keep using console logs all over the place.
- selfhoster11 5y agoI think programming with a debugger should be thought towards the start of the CS course. It's been an immense help with grokking for loops and the like.
