I used to teach people to use the amazing debuggers we have now so that they'd never have to use print statements to debug their code.

Since I became a front-end developer, all I've done is use print statements to debug JS. Feels like I've gone backwards.

Why don't you use the devtools debugger? I generally find people in webdev tend to use debuggers more than other fields because it's so readily available in devtools, or with `debugger` in JavaScript.

It's nowhere near e.g. Pycharm as a debugging tool, is why. It's awful.
