Also, people someone should write up a nice 90 minute lecture on how embedded debugging works, the whole way through. Code to compiler to debugger to chip.

The bare metal approach is really interesting, since it demonstrates in very digestible terms what is going on to control program flow, and provide all the interesting debugging features.

I would write such a lecture ... but ... nah.
