No, I'm not. I'm referring to the Mother Of All Debuggers: Brains(tm).
Too much software is written without it, too much software is produced without thoroughly thinking before writing and then it is tested and debugged into some semi-final state before being shipped.
I do agree that debugging is necessary in certain cases, but putting it first is like requiring every car owner to have a fully equipped garage.
