My hypothesis is that because we generally don't/can't use debuggers in production but rather rely on logging and tracing, that extends to local dev.


Agreed!

If you usually aren't able/allowed to use a debugger in production and must rely on observability tools, it's helpful to know how to utilize those tools locally as effectively as possible when debugging.
