>Do you ever use print() or log() to debug your code?

I haven't written my own code in months at this point...kind of depressing to think about

My own TS project was inspired by IceCream: https://github.com/Leftium/gg#coding-agent-access

It began as a better `console.log()` for humans, but I ended up making it better for AI coding agents.

I got tired of copying dev console output, so coding agents can now just insert the exact calls they need and query the output without human intervention.

i got half way through the readme for this project and had the same thought and got sad and just left the page
My first thought as well. Debugging is actually a decent use case of AI.
I have a board with a logic analyzer, debug/flash probe, PSU, and multimeter on my desk being driven and debugged all autonomously by the AI.

While the automation and systems side of my brain is thrilled that all of this id automated and integrated, developer brain is sad

So what do you actually do then?
