Another master programmer Linus Torvalds seems to have the opposite attitude though https://lwn.net/2000/0914/a/lt-debugger.php3 https://lwn.net/2000/0914/a/lt-debugger.php3 Wonder if there's a difference in average attitude between people who do creative stuff (e.g. games) vs people who do infrastructure type stuff (e.g. Linux kernel)

  Furthermore, Carmack mentions that this aversion to debuggers stems from the Linux bias.
