Lost me here, using breakpoints are an invaluable tool for people that actually take the time to use their tools correctly.
- eljimmy 5y agoI'm inclined to agree - I use breakpoints all the time when I'm debugging JS code and it is most definitely an invaluable tool. It can be a bit cumbersome to setup and it can be a little buggy especially when you're working with transpiled code, but to say no one uses breakpoints is a bit disingenuous.
- yanndinendal 5y agoThat's the point: looks like a tool made to be the best of both worlds: You get access to the full debugger, at any point in time, instead of clicking "next" a hundred times and then not being able to go back if you missed something. Here you go forward or back in time, and you can visualize where you are. This thread sums-up much better than me why people use print debugging (not just because they don't want to learn a tool, or are dumb), and why Replay is the best of both worlds: https://twitter.com/geoffreylitt/status/1438152748449636360?s=20 https://twitter.com/geoffreylitt/status/1438152748449636360?...
