Environments like this aren't worth dealing with, +1 for bailing. When you're looking at new gigs, ask questions about what the culture is like, oriented around work / life balance, and try to get a feeling for the number of

I think a lot of people like using alert() for debugging because it posses execution. Of course, so do break-points / "debugger" statements. Git pre-commit hooks for alert are helpful since few and far between are the circums
