My screen is full of printf debugging. I'm repeatedly running the same UI-driven test with more and more log messages containing my initials so I can grep for them in the logs.
Send help.
@andybalaam Ah, debugging the bwk way 
I've spent most of today working in a very Steve Maguire mode. Sometimes you just have to.
@jezhiggins what is a Steve Maguire mode?
@andybalaam In Debugging The Development Process (1994) he recommends stepping through every line of code you write in the debugger.
I've spent all day working on a plugin to an application, working against a rather crappy API, and it's the only practical way to verify what you've written does what you expect.
solidarity@andybalaam I haven't looked at it for years, but it's an easy and quite fun read. It came out pretty much exactly as I became (and was wrestling with rather) a full time programmer, and it had quite an influence on me.
