If you know your code, then you need no debugger! HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGES
LIKE HEX or ASM need no debugger (I ain't kidding).

Well you do need a debugger above a certain code complexity allright.

I do not see this, honestly.
I do the complicated stuff in Linux, not sure if I did hit the 1M lines
of code, way over 100000 I am in some programs though.
I mean gdb is just 3 characters away, but in C printf() always helps me out.

There are some basic rules, and libc.info is my friend, gives me all the help
I need, and prevents me from doing things better not done.
And I try to avoid exotic constructs.
In C: keep your pointers in range, check for null pointers in every function.
