> debuggers don't work here

It’s impossible? Or would take engineering work to enable



It's not a realtime system kind of thing where the debugger would change the behavior too much... It's possible with enough engineering work, but nobody has put that work in, in fact they had a debugger for some staging envs that they deleted. Lately they keep adding more red tape making it hard to even run something locally, let alone attach a debugger.

I guess you can attach a debugger for unit tests, but that's not very useful.

That is in fact incredibly useful


Eh, it's there for those who want it, but nobody uses it


See this just sounds like you do not have an engineering culture or learning, enabling, and using debuggers.


Not sure what an engineering culture is, but I don't want it. I just want to attach a debugger to our stuff (not the unit tests).


*engineering culture of

It’s a similar muscle to exercise as using a profiler.
