I think there is a bit of a paradox, debugging can seem heavy, but then when you’ve added enough print statements you’ve spent more time and added more things to clean up than if you had just taken the time to debug, well, you should have debugged. But you don’t know until you know. This seems to also appear with the “it would’ve been faster to not try to automate/code a fuller solution” than address whatever you were doing.
