Hmm, all those "don't use print" headlines shown in the article seem to be simply click-bait headlines for articles that aren't really shaming print debugging but instead illustrating other debugging tools that some programmers may not know about. I remember the good old days when I was first learning programming with Applesoft BASIC where print debugging was all there was, and then again in my early days of 8051 programming when I didn't yet have the sophisticated 8051 ICE equipment to do more in depth debugging. Now with the ARM Cortex chips I most often program and their nice SWD interface, print debugging isn't usually necessary. But I still use it occasionally over a serial line because it is simple and why not?
