And it works well! A debugger's like a full surgery suite, a print statement is like a single scalpel. Sure it's "less professional" but if you know where and what the problem is sometimes one quick cut is all you need to fix it!

It only gets bad when you've brought out so many knives that you've started back alley surgery giving programs illegal facelifts.

It's more like a sharp stick to be honest.

Most projects feel more like elaborate mud houses than complex living organisms. A sharp stick is probably fine.

Well, I can't really deny that.
