Debugging and being able to interpret documentation when it exists.

But good lord, the amount of programmers I work with that never use an IDE debugger is unreal. I get that you don't have to, but Jesus Christ, if yout not getting an expected result, it's way fucking faster to step through the code and see where the data changes then to slap logging into every line and attempt to read the output.
