That is both plainly incorrect (you can drop a breakpoint without breaking the chain, see comment below), and missing the point -- I mean, I appreciate the lecture on what programming is all about, but in this case the programming is all about having fun, and writing a solution as fast as possible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

So you have to add code to debug it with #tap? I don’t care if the chain is unbroken: you have to CHANGE THE CODE YOU SHIPPED in order to properly debug it. That’s idiotic. And before you say “oh, this is just an exercise”, I can tell you from personal experience that I encounter this endlessly in prod code with both Python and Kotlin chained functional style garbage. It is often not debuggable without break-up and unrolling.

If I'm at the point where I need to debug a production process with breakpoints, I'd rather just find a new job than worry about my coworker's coding style.
