Wholeheartedly agree. There’s often good performance or security reasons why it’s hard to get a debugger running in prod, but it’s still worth figuring out how to do it IMO.

Your experience sounds more sophisticated than mine, but the one time I was able to get even basic debugger support into a production Ruby app, it made fixing certain classes of bug absolutely trivial compared to what it would have been.

The main challenge was getting this considered as a requirement up front rather than after the fact.
