Ever since I was gifted with a Kontron chip emulator debugger for my work in Assembly language, and enjoyed total control over my universe, I almost simultaneously discovered that using it greatly slowed down my debugging. It made me lazy. I bet Sauron would have won MiddleEarth if he wasn’t so hung up on his Palantir stone.
Ever since, I redoubled my effort to use my brain for debugging, plus simple print statements and logging. Only when I am ready to jump out a window do I fire up a debugger.
(BTW, for three years I was in charge of the Borland Turbo Debugger test team.)
