Darren New:
   Actually, having done both, I would say an inability to debug in a
   batch environment suffests a lack of discipline, and an inability

Yeah.

Except I'd say that an inability to debug in a batch environment
suggests a lack of paper ;-)

Define the ability and inclination to make tools you need as
"discipline" and you'd have the gist of what I was trying to say.
