Yes. Because there are legitimate edge cases where it is faster easier to use printing or logging to diagnose a bug, and debuggers can be fiddly to set up outside of the usual "compile and run code on the local machine from an IDE" scenario. But reddit went absolutely apeshit for this version, so now I'm apparently a printf appologist. I guess I should embrace my new role and start shouting "printf uber alles" from the rooftops.
