<p>Few of us would deny the awesomeness of debuggers, but to make it more useful, some tricks can be used. </p>

<p>For example in Python, you can use <strong><em>pass</em></strong> to do absolutely nothing except to leave you room to put a break point and allow you to observe the values in the Watch window. </p>

<p>In C#, I used to do <strong><em>GC.Collect()</em></strong>, but now I use <strong><em>if (false){}</em></strong></p>

<p>What's your most playful dummy line?</p>

In C#, you can use this:
```
```
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
```
```
It will force a breakpoint.
