What enables me to use them is probably that this is very much true for the whole industry so software is built with that in mind.
For example, we use special "print" statements for some of the errors that if a debugger is running, it will automatically stop the program so you can investigate. Without a debugger, it will just output the error in the log.
There is no docker, the app is running usually on your local hardware. Consoles are also built with debugger support that you connect to from your PC. So it's very easy to use. Even connecting to another PC in a local network, for example, an artist or tester hardware, is possible from your computer without a problem. We have all the tools prepared for that.
