The eternal struggle between primitive and proper debugging techniques. Sure, a debugger exists, but why use sophisticated tools when you can just carpet bomb your code with print()
, console.log()
, or System.out.println()
statements?
It's like having a perfectly good hammer but choosing to bang screws in with your forehead instead. The sheer chaotic joy of littering your codebase with print("HERE1")
, print("HERE2")
, print("WHY GOD WHY")
is apparently irresistible.
The funniest part? We all know those print statements will somehow make it to production. Because nothing says "professional software engineer" like users seeing DEBUG: ENTERING LOOP ITERATION 47
in their console.
