New cartoon from Narasimha Vedala provides insight into the new ideology (click on it to enlarge):
Dawn of Debugism

Here I repeat 10 debugging commandments in scripture:
1. Thou shalt not underestimate bugs
2. Thou shalt walk the stack with thy colleagues
3. Thou shalt strive not to corrupt thine memory heap
4. Thou shalt share thine debugging knowledge
5. Thou shalt not overflow the buffer
6. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s dump
7. Thou shalt not reverse engineer for profit
8. Thou shalt not attach debugger to thy neighbor’s wife
9. Thou shalt not commit adultery with bugs
10. Thou shalt not shalt thou to me
