Use of Debugging Tools in Development
The philosophy shared emphasizes not using a debugger for backend development if it can't be used in production to identify bugs. The speaker suggests relying on logs and a strong mental model when debugging. Only after spending 20 minutes without progress, should a debugger be considered. After using the debugger to find the bug, a discussion is required to understand why it was necessary, whether due to messy code, lack of knowledge, or other issues.
