Comment on Show HN: Super Debugger, a realtime messaging iOS Debugger toolparent

Why would you scrap your work?

Fair question. Superdb does what I want: interactive state examination without breakpoints. I hadn't got very far with mine at all, and it was intimately bound up with the design of my app so wouldn't have been reusable even in my own future projects. Then there is the chance that I'll be able to contribute to superdb, something which appeals to my sense of community far more than writing some for-my-eyes-only, debug code for a closed-source app.

Mainly, though, I hate reinventing wheels. I'm not a very good programmer and it would take me far too long. I'll always look for a friendly giant to stand on before I try and build my own ladder.
