I've interviewed folk who say they don't use debuggers. They usually don't get the job.

I'll keep that in mind for my next interview. I find it's always best to avoid jobs that discriminate in such ways, and if not using a debugger helps me to dodge a bullet, I'll consider myself lucky.
You’re being disingenuous. Using a debugger is such an elementary part of a developer’s job that failure to master it is incompetence to me.
Well, at the end of the day, my job isn't so much to code as it is to make my employer, that is your competitor, money. So you've just called the man making your competitors a lot richer incompetent. Indeed, one of us is being disingenuous.
