Debuggers a great tool to have in your toolbelt. They can arbitrarily modify the state of the program at any point, let you safely inject code (I’ve written “coroutines” in LLDB for applications I did not have the ability to insert print statements in), and can be extremely helpful when performing dynamic analysis. That being said, sometimes you don’t have access to a debugger, so you have to do your best with the tools you have available. Finding a bug is always a challenge of removing extraneous state you don’t care about (“where do I put this print statement so it doesn’t get called a million times”, “how can I visualize the value of this variable when it changes in a way that is important”) so not having a debugger doesn’t change this: it just makes it somewhat more annoying (and requiring more ingenuity) to perform these tasks because you now have more limitations.
