@MarekKnapek That's something that people love to ignore even if it's important as heck. It means nothing if someone can code in +10 languages, or if someone can type 100 lines of code in 20 seconds, and how skilled a beginner or an experienced programmer is means nothing if they do not know how to debug. I quit print-debugging almost a year ago and decided to learn to debug properly, and since then I no longer spend days trying to find any bug at all, and in general I'm a better developer.
Yes but how are you going to leave a printf('oh noes I fucked up!') statement in by mistake, for someone to find in production ten years down the line when the planets align and a strange set of circumstances occur?
That's half the fun :)
