I think there are two use cases here, I was referring to debugging during development and a lot of replies are regarding troubleshooting an active prod system.

Of course we all hope for well thought out logging to troubleshoot issues we're seeing in prod.

I'm referencing an pattern I see with junior devs who simply use "printf debugging" in development instead of learning to use a debugger properly, even with distributed systems.

Whereas I see this pattern more with senior engineers.

I don't use printf. I tie a pin to an assertion of the expected result, and watch it with an oscilloscope.

Get on my level, normies. /s
