one of the last teapot threads before he was permabanned was where he asserted that needing to use a debugger on your code was a sign of weakness and being a bad programmer.

something like "You should know what your code is doing, you wrote it. You should not need a debugger if you've done your job"

so what if i want to print things other than 'f' though? what am i supposed to do then? that's why javascript is better, you can just console.log any kind of character or string.

there are definitely situations when you need a super complicated break condition that you just cant fit into a conditional breakpoint and you can just call DebugBreak() inside of a if instead

if you're the kind of person that does this, and I think it's fine in moderation, you should also be the kind of person who has a precommit hook to check for the existence of DebugBreak() in the commit
