I know profilers and debuggers are a boon for productivity, but anecdotally I've found they're seldom used. How often do you use debuggers/profilers in your work? What's preventing you? conversely, what enables you to use them?

I've seen the fun of "prints everywhere" in production when a colleague forgot to remove a "Why the fuck do you end up here?" followed by a bunch of variables before committing a hot-fix... Customers weren't to amused...

@Nicktar I usually prefer the prints everywhere approach, but of course printing to STDERR not STDOUT - so it ends up in a log, and not in the program output ๐Ÿ˜… won't make that mistake again!

That must've prompted a bit of existential crisis in some shoppers. I can see going to purchase some useless consumer shit online and getting a message "Why the fuck do you end up here?" and just closing my browser and rethinking my life decisions.
