		scotty79 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Grug Brained Developer (2022) What's insane is that debuggers could support at least 80-90% of print debugging workflow with a good UI. The only thing that's really missing is history of the values of the watches you added, all in one log. With filters because why not. For some reason I never seen this option in any debugger I tried.

UPDATE:

Heh, who knew, debuggers already have this feature under the name tracepoints (VS) or logpoints (Viscose).

It should be way more well known among print debug crowd.
