There was yet another huge flamewar over whether or not debuggers are useful or the tools of lazy slobs. Count me in the former: I like using a debugger. Tests are great for shaking out issues with code and for maintaining confidence. However, when things get rough (and they will), it’s nice to look at exactly what’s going on inside the code.

I Have the Unit Test Religion
June 22, 2007…And I must testify. I’ve been making a conscious effort to make as much of the new logic I’m writing unit-testable, and it really makes the development process smoother. I can’t stress enough how important and comforting it is to be able to make changes to complicated logic and be able to immediately test for regressions. There are some pretty big pieces of logic in my current project just crying for unit tests. Now I just have to convince the customer it’s worth it.
