Err, conditional breakpoints are your friend.

Also the GP claims "nobody" uses breakpoints? Everyone in my team uses them all the time.

Suppose it all depends on your language/tool chain, in my experience breakpoints are very commonly used by developers in visual studio.



I assume he referred to breakpoints in the browser.


Chrome does conditional breakpoints - just edit the breakpoint and type your condition in - but it massively slows down the page of that code gets hit a lot.

So much so that I prefer to put the condition in my local build as source code then put a normal breakpoint on that after it has rebuilt (a few millseconds with a good watcher)


I use it ALL the time. Not sure how people are debugging code nowadays?
