Genuinely not sure whether you are joking or not. The thing is, I do not need a debugger very often, but when I need it, I need it.

I also have no idea what kind of code people "write" that they can rely on A.I. so much. I have found these tools helpful for gathering info but not for much more, yet.

I don't even find it that useful for gathering info. If it's good at that then there's some documentation out there that's going to be faster to comb through. It's useful for generating boilerplate for well defined unit tests and the occasional tab-complete.

You need more debugging if you have AI

I'm sure we'll see a microbubble in this space before long.

Oh hell yeah, an AI driven debugger that hallucinates memory values and instruction pointer positions.

Yeah, this is a moronic take. I'm all in on AI programming, but when you need debugging, you really need it - sometimes the model will get utterly fixated on a solution that is just wrong, and you just need to follow the stack trace.
