No disagreement that debuggers are helpful, but they allow unskilled people to do more crap work without having to learn or think or improve, and that is what I believe Linus is going on about. By all means, I don't agree with him that

I also find that a debugger encourages a technique of just tracing through the code until " a-hah , that's where fooBing get reset to dingy. I should add a clause to reset it to dingy only if barBong is set." Without a debugger, I would

At least when setting or changing passwords, I would like an option to display them in clear text. Slightly on-topic: I find it silly for a shopping website to display your complete credit card information in plain letters on screen, wh

And with the number collision likely being caused by a half-baked RNG, this article basically just confirms that journalists have a weak grasp of maths.

Since we're on the internet, I believe it is appropriate to compare CVS to Hitler. At least it made the trains run on time.

Pakistan doesn't actually have to fire the weapons; merely having the weapons at all lets them exercise more political power than they would otherwise have.

> Example. If your customer just considers “order” an “order” that has been approved, don’t call “order” to a non approved one in your code, call it “nonApprovedOrder”. Doesn't this violate his rule #5?
