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?

These days? Never, but I'm mostly writing Ansible and Terraform at work.

When I was writing any code at previous jobs? Also never. It was one part we were highly restricted in what we were allowed to use (and I didnt feel like trying to get gdb through the approval process; it was far easier to just use print statements inside of conditionals) and one part the languages all being scripting languages.
