> and I’m usually the only one on my team using a debugger. Almost everyone in the real world (at least in web tech) seems to do print statement debugging.

One of the first things I do in a codebase is get some working IDE/editor up where I can quickly run the program under a debugger, even if I'm not immediately troubleshooting something. It's never long before I need to use it.

I was baffled when I too encountered this. Even working collaboratively with people they'd have no concept of how to use a debugger.

"No, set a breakpoint there"

"yeah now step into the function and inspect the state of those variables"

"step over that"

: blank stares at each instance :
