I usually wait for someone to accidentally try to merge a bunch of conditional logic wrapping logging, prints or stdio.write type stuff and take that as the opportunity to introduce them to the debug tab in the editor... and give a quick tutorial on conditional breakpoints and how to go up and down the call stack.

It's amazing how many developers go sometimes a decade before they learn to use a debugger.
