Many developers resent the fact that debugging has become one of the key components in software development. Many developers have been known to spend a considerable amount of time simply on debugging. Adding salt to the wound are programming bugs for which the behavior is not reproducible. In many instances, developers may wish there was a way to travel back in time to capture what happened and then be able to wave a magic wand to debug the issue.
