I'm talking about universities not interviews.
Print debugging is sometimes useful but sometimes indicate the person doesn't know about tracepoints/logpoints.
And print statements are sometimes the superior choice.
This ties into my other comment that these things can be heavily subjective. As long as it gets the job done, I prefer print statements used by somebody who uses them as a sharp knife to gain understanding of what's going on over somebody just clicking buttons in a fancy UI but has no clue. (And vice versa, obviously.)
