Do you use the debugger of the language that you work in to step through code to understand what the code is doing, or do you find it easy to look at code written by someone else to figure out what is going on? I am talking about code written in C#, but it could be any language.
Yes, but generally only to investigate bugs that prove resistant to other methods.
I write embedded software, so running a debugger normally involves having to physically plug a debug module into the PCB under test, add/remove links, solder on a debug socket (if not already present), etc – hence why I try to avoid it if possible. Also, some older debugger hardware/software can be a bit flaky.
