As soon as I make more than a script, I'm using a debugger.

I really can't wrap my head around how so many of my colleagues in the professional work field just print wherever until they find their problem.

print statements feel like touching around in pitch darkness until I found what I sought, compared to a debugger which feels like just seeing my room and daylight while finding what I sought.

^ This is the person I want to develop with. My goodness, can I produce some tasty, broken first-pass code you can go wild on.
