They're not good at debugging. The article is pretty spot on, IMO - they're great at doing the work; but you are still the brain. You're still deciding what to do, and maybe 50% of the time how to do it, you're just not executing the lowest level anymore. Similar for debugging - this is not an exercise at the lowest level, and needs you to run it.

    And that's exactly what I want. And I don't get it why people want more. Having more means you have less and less control or influence on the result. What I want is that in other fields it becomes like it is in programming now, so that you micromanage every step and have great control over the result.
