I agree with cabacon that the title is poorly-chosen. I was expecting to read one of those inane "I have transcended the debugger" posts, but instead found something insightful. How my team tries to fix the problem of log files being insufficient is to have debug builds log to the console as well as to the log file. If we have useful log statements in place, debugging a simple problem becomes trivially easy as we can see the problem unfolding in front of our eyes. This also helps solve the problem of logging too much data, because the more we log the more console spew we have to deal with. I do like the idea of banning the debugger right before a launch, though.
