The debugging angle is what sold me. The social part surprised me too.

Great point, especially the part about rant. The rainy evening version is even more interesting.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony.
