  • Madness. When I started using gdb in C it was lifesaver to find any runtime errors in my code. Coming from what is the shit of C compilation and runtime errors it saved what would effectively be hours of inserting printf statements to find the error.

    It depends how well a language specifies where the runtime error is occuring. I just get “segmentation fault (core dumped)” as my runtime error which could mean any for loop or iterattive sequence in my program.





  • I try to avoid it, but ever since search engines have gone to shit, it has forced me to use it for debugging code. Stack overflow, r/Cprogramming, minimal articles on the specific issue, have ceased to exist ever since AI generation. And why should it? Why would a user post an issue (for example, on stack overflow) wait for a few days to get a few responses, when they could get an instant response with AI. Search engines have gone to shit so much, that My fathers startup company has issued a premium license for chatGPT because of how dead Search engines are.

    I hate it, I wish I didn’t have to use it, and yet this is my reality.
