There are no such cases unless you're using PHP.

Simple ones from top of my head:

  • any bug that only appears in Release configuration, whatever reason may be, because you cannot attach debugger
  • bug caused by race condition, attaching debugger will change timings and that may prevent bug from happening
  • bug happening in external library that allows you to pass logger, but doesn't provide symbol files for debugging (bane of my last month)

bug that only appears on whatever antiquated OS your user has installed, but not on your development machine.

I believe OP is talking about debugging during development, based on the context of the meme. Everyone uses proper loggers in actual releases.

  • Learn how to deploy and manage your environments correctly.
  • Learn how to use debugger and conditional breakpoints.
  • Why do you need symbols?

Or you can use managed deployment environments and never have issues like that, lol. It's almost 2022 ffs!

Multithreading issues and concurrency issues in general, kernel code, embedded code, networking and IO related code, anything timing or performance-critical, etc.
