I wonder if print debugging would be more acceptable if we just called it "logging". Everybody likes appropriate logging, right? :thonking:

Anyway, I have no qualms with print debugging. Most of the things I am debugging occur live on a complicated system that needs to keep running, I have limited access, and I can't just set a breakpoint and poke around. So I "print" things to a log for analyzing later.

Use what works.
