Nitpicking a bit here but theres nothing wrong with printf debugging. Its immensely helpful to debug concurrent programs where stopping one part would mess up the state and maybe even avoid the bug you were trying to reproduce.

As for tooling, I really love AI coding. My workflow is pasting interfaces in ChatGPT and then just copy pasting stuff back. I usually write the glue code by hand. I also define the test cases and have AI take over those laborious bits. I love solving problems and I genuinely hate typing :)
