It drives me crazy that half my coworkers do this, including a senior dev. I'll be on a call trying to help debug something and it makes it so difficult not being able to set a breakpoint

I console.dir and debugger; and breakpoint all day. You are allowed to mix your strategies.

console for quick and dirty understanding but inspector for more complex fixes.

and the one that keeps getting slept on for some reason, watch breakpoints - stop when foo is changed. Great for figuring out what is screwing with your data when foo mysteriously changes
