Isn't it obvious? Using a debugger implies that you expect the code you write to have bugs. Not a mindset I'd like my coworkers to have.

Isn't it obvious?
Using a debugger implies that you expect the code you write to have bugs. Not a mindset I'd like my coworkers to have.
- sethrin 3y agoIs this sarcasm or epic hubris? No-one writes bug-free code, and thinking otherwise sounds like an enormous red flag.
- geysersam 3y agoAt our org we originally only hired A+ people. The A+ people hired A++ people and so on. Eventually we ended up with only 10x programmers and since then we haven't written any bugs. If I get around to it I'll eventually write a book about this technique.
- diego_moita 3y agoNot sure if you're trolling or just missed the "/s" tag. A much worse mindset is to be arrogant enough to assume the code has no bugs. As a matter of principle every code has bugs. Some bugs are found, some not.
- singleshot_ 3y agoIt’s actually worse than that: using a debugger shows that you’ve written so much buggy code that you somehow learned that debuggers exist. Steer well clear of these people!
- scruple 3y agoWhat? Are you implying that you don't write bugs?
- antisthenes 3y agoYep, this is the kind of senior tech lead advice I'm willing to shell out 475k total comp for.
- geysersam 3y agoI'll send you the invoice.
