console.log for debug

Console.log('the cat in the hat did it');

5 minutes later, client calls up...

Why is this bad practice?

Real mens use alert().

@Madeindjs

man, men, mens - when you really mean many men! :D

@Madeindjs Professionals use prompt so you can copy the output :)

@hutilicious you can copy alert easily with same key combination

@Divisionbyzero because console log is just log like print or echo, this does not stops run cycle or shows entire app state, like some breakpoints can do. so thru console log you can get info what dont mean anything. because outdated.

I don't understand why people use any of those things. Do real debugging with xdebug.

There are also better ways https://developers.google.com/web/...

Try console.table() for arrays it's a magic.
