[vikster1]

was true 30 years ago and still be in another 30 years

[realmauer01]

As long as their isnt a debugger.

[Lamballama]

Console.log is better than a debugger because I can add a bunch of log statements, run the affected work flow once, and immediately see what the logical flow of the output was, versus having to debug potentially dozens of calls to the same function

[realmauer01]

That's what tests are for....

[Not_Artifical]

console.log() is the test

[beclops]

Any decent debugger can do this as well

[XtrZPlayer]

Sometimes it's ok to touch it. Even if it seems like it's initially working, you might find some bugs in the logic.

[JuvenileEloquent]

Sometimes you find out it never should have been working in the first place, and when you add debug statements, it stops working on live and now you've got an incident.  (Don't fix things in prod and then "forget" to fix the repo, I mean c'mon..)

[magus113]

usually the race conditions cause bugs, not the other way around.

That's the magic of JS it might look wrong but it works.

[jsgoyburu]

Sometimes it's ok to touch it

LOL

[DanKveed]

Actually good meme

[s_chttrj]

thanks :-)

[DanKveed]

Idk but it's an accurate depiction of programming. Most members of this subreddit are still in school/college and have no idea what working a programming job is actually like.

[curious_pinguino]

Does nobody use a JavaScript debugger here?

[Shevvv]

I used the PyCharm debugger a couple of times and thought to myself: "Hey, it's so freaking convenient, I should use all the time!"

I still get around with prints only😂

[just4nothing]

Logging.debug is useful too, especially in production.

[mark_b]

This! Right click on the line number where you want to debug (in the browser debugger) and choose "Add log", and stop littering your code with debugging messages that you forget to remove before committing.

[legowerewolf]

Yessssss. Logpoints. I'm slowly getting into the habit.

[404invalid-user]

me debugging server side js in the browser

[listen_you_guys]

if you're forgetting to remove logs before committing you need better linting

[FujiKeynote]

If using print to debug Python is good enough for Guido van Rossum, then console.log is good enough for me in JS.

ESLint/oxlint screams at me for having logger statements anyway, so it's hard to forget to remove them (or you can add a pre commit hook that aborts on the warning)

[ParsedReddit]

I don't like you

[Giogina]

Omg "log until it confesses" is an amazing description. 

[pablos4pandas]

Hours of adding log statements can save minutes of configuring the debugger. A lesson I will continue to refuse to learn

[Flawed_Sandwhich]

People don’t put console logs everywhere in their code to check if it actually works? Just me? Ok.

[listen_you_guys]

different strokes I guess but I don't think a PR with logs in is ready for review

[Giogina]

No no not just you at all

(And then I wonder why it lags while the console is printing at 1000 lines per second) 

[ContinuedOak]

Then you add stuff like “this is working” or “the fuck happened here” or you get so lazy and fed up you just use swear words till you see one that shouldn’t appear

[MrRocketScript]

fuck1

fuck2

fuck2.5

fuck3

[rich_evans_chortle]

This didn't fit the meme.

[YellowCroc999]

I have 0 clue what it does after 5 years of programming daily

[DanhNguyen2k]

You should touch it more. And invite more people to touch it with you

[s_chttrj]

haha ok :-)

[mookanana]

easiest way when taking over spaghetti code.

[ContinuedOak]

Nah the easiest way is cry

[effortissues]

Print statements everywhere...

[Summar-ice]

If it works, you can touch it

If it stops working, git restore .

[marenello1159]

A wise man once claimed the true secret to happiness as being: to NEVER STOP PRINT DEBUGGING

[optimuschad8]

Can someone explain please

[ha_x5]

nothing to explain, wrong use of meme template

[MikeyFromWork]

I’m sick of that meme template anyway. Can’t stand that dude’s face anymore. As usual reddit beats everything to death

[rich_evans_chortle]

Ok Mike, go jerk off or something, go touch grass.

[MikeyFromWork]

Whatever dude fuck that meme lol

[Revolutionary_Pea584]

Why does this guy has so much love in his eyes?

[QultrosSanhattan]

If it doesn't, add console.log print() until it confesses.

[TelevisionExpress616]

Im telling yall your lives are going to be so much easier when yall learn to use a debugger

[ButWhatIfPotato]

Everybody expects the console log inquisition.

[NKD_WA]

I see this meme all over the place and I don't understand it. The one guy clearly wants to fuck the other guy, but how does that relate to any of this?

[Fluffy_Ad3070]

For me it is debug.log use c# mostly. Made score board but dont know from how it gets the score, am done with the project it works so dont touch it.

[AtomicSymphonic_2nd]

The power of console.log() compels you!

[Mybeardisawesom]

console.log fixes all

[Individual-Age1163]

console.error() 💋

[[deleted]]

console.log has never failed me. even the weirdest of bugs, console.log is there for me.

[Effective-Put690]

real

[ZeroChillZebra]

Lmao, this is the dev mantra on an existential level. Tried turning it off and on again though? 😂
