The Egyptians built a wonder of the world before the invention of the wheel! The wheel predates the Great Pyramid at Giza by perhaps a thousand years.

Which just reinforces my point. In the field, I've found that the majority of developers never use a debugger, the type built into modern IDEs. Even back in the year 2000 that surprised me, but now? It's like watching people shovelling dirt by hand while standing next to a hydraulic digger.
- andromeduck 4y agoDebuggers aren't really that useful for debugging complex systems with a lot of moving parts, e.g threaded code or code ith actors/agents or opaque references/layers or edge cases in hot code in particular. It also doesn't work terribly well if reproductions are timing sensitive or requires non local environment. Time travel debuggers - which essentially record every stack frame and dump either continuously or the last 1-2ms before some trigger is quite a bit better but that's a lot closer to logging everything than typical debuggers.
