people who tell you to using code debuggers are just gaslighting

just console.log all the way, everyone does it and it's fine

my unifying theory is that

1. debuggers are overkill for most web services, where the logic layer is simple and the data / infra layer holds the complexity 

2. debuggers are very effective for software where the logic layer is real-time and complex (operating systems, games, basically anything with a runloop)

Same with traces - i think the people selling the observability love it because it makes infra more complex and expensive, therefore taken more seriously.

Otel thou is pretty cool, its like the kubernetes of observability, can take it with you wherever
