John Carmack had some interesting comments on debuggers (as opposed to "print debugging") in his recent interview with Lex Friedman. This was probably the most valuable thing I got out of their talk, because I myself use print debugging often. The main reason why I did this is that I use a lot of different languages (Julia, Go, JavaScript, Python, and so on) and it usually isn't worth it to me to learn a new and big IDE to small projects.


what did he say?


Not GP, but I assume this[0] is the talk. Clocking in at five hours, you might have to dedicate some time to it. The timestamps on the show indicate programming is discussed somewhere between the 10 and 51 minute marks.
