    @yodude glad i'm not working with you then. because all i can see is that you don't give a shit about quality. a dev should at least smoketest something first. and even a fucking child can learn git it's not that god damn hard

    @alexander12 print is fine. Alert in js is the bad one.

    Print debugging is luxury. The fun starts when the only debug output is a free pin that you can solder an LED to.

    @Condor yup and i'd say logging is a cheap oscilloscope whilst a debugger is one of those fancy ones

    I used to need one a few years back as electronics technician. things were ranging from 3000$ to 60000$. sure there are cheaper version but private usage differs a lot of course. simpler circuits and all :)
