I've been developing software for almost 3 decades (if you count the C programs I wrote in high school... longer if you consider Basic!) I can count on one hand the times I've needed to use a debugger to debug something. I prefer my cave-man logging. I do find that I use Python's built-in debugger often during development, mostly to inspect objects as I'm writing code. I'll stick a breakpoint() in my script after an API call. It's often quicker than looking at Boto or Amazon docs, for example. But I never use it for actually debugging.
