I clicked on the article knowing that the writer would open with something like this: "I learned to program with BASIC back when I was twelve. I would write elaborate programs and run them. Invariably, they would surprise me by failing to do what I expect. I would struggle for a time, but I’d eventually give up and just accept that whatever “bugs” I had created were there to stay." People that dont use debuggers for serious software development had their brains develop programming ability without one. They are stuck in their ways, and generally arent aware of it.
