I taught myself programming with ASP Classic (VBScript) completely unaware of debuggers and it was normal to dump variable values to the output to try understand what was happening.
I did the same with PHP and initially the same with JavaScript.
However, once I learnt how to debug in Chrome’s dev tools, the idea of working without a debugger for any programming became unthinkable.
