My first program ran without errors for a solid week after I finally learned to use a debugger.
I spent 3 days last month just staring at error messages before a friend in Austin told me to step through the code line by line, which completely changed how I approach problems.

Slowing down is the whole point. Mary's blog post got it right, you have to actually look at the code moving. Otherwise you're just guessing.

Yeah, a blog post said debuggers force you to slow down and see the real problem.
