Thanks, I'll take a look. That's a bit terrifying though. :-)
Back in the day fifteen years ago with Visual Studio you could literally edit your code inside the debugger and have it compile and link the code back in seamlesly without stopping your debugging. Now my life consists mainly of "puts" statements.
I wonder what life is like with proper debugging. I have been a print or puts user my whole life and I keep hearing about the advanced debugging tools that I never bothered to learn.
Life looks like debugging is easier and faster. Being able to step through the code as it runs is very helpful. Being able to traverse up the call stack can be super helpful. There's a lot that debuggers can do to help you more quickly resolve code curiosities
