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?

  • That I agree, I always see it as a critical necessity to always document everything when more than 1 developer work on the project. It like making a trade:

    Spend time and effort debugging

    Or

    Spend time documenting and maintain it with the help of Chatgpt

    With ChatGPT, it seems to reduce cost for documenting while same can’t be said for debugging.
