I do not use a debugger

Decades later, I program in various languages, C, JavaScript, Go, Java, C++, Python… and I almost never use a debugger. I use fancy tools, and I certainly do use tools that are called debuggers (like ), but I almost never step through my programs line-by-line watching variable values. I say “almost” because there are cases where a debugger is the right tool, mostly on simple or quick-and-dirty projects, or in contexts where my brain is overwhelmed because I do not fully master the language or the code.
