I have the complete opposite experience. I learned how to use a debugger from the only 10x programmer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Person was a wizard at finding bugs. And they didn’t write many. My goal in code reviews was to find them from this person. I found 2 in 5 years.



You have one counter example. How many 0.1 programmers are there using a debugger to blindly change values in the program in the hope it fixes the bug?

I've seen dozens.


You also provided one example, yours haha. I think we have concluded this anecdotal conversation.


I have provided dozens of examples. You have provided one.
