I know profilers and debuggers are a boon for productivity, but anecdotally I’ve found they’re seldom used. How often do you use debuggers/profilers in your work? What’s preventing you? conversely, what enables you to use them?

  • I find debuggers are used a lot more on confusing legacy code.

    Lately, monitoring tools such as OpenTelemetry have replaced a lot of my use of profilers.
