People in my experience are actually very serious about the standard out to debug log which is... baffling. Same people generally outright refuse to learn how to use a debugger in languages where those are pleasant

Oh I'm completely serious. The joke is that everyone does it but everyone knows not to do it. I started doing it when I first ran into problems debugging actor contexts, and never stopped.

The good printlns become logs, obviously
