Heh, it's cute GDB introduces itself. We all know what you are. You've earned your place in history.

For every greybeard that knows all the tools like the back of their hand, there's someone new joining the industry who doesn't know what gdb is

With all respect, not everyone does know what GDB is. Cue the classic Lucky 10,000: https://xkcd.com/1053
I assume you commented as gesture of gratitude. I comment to emphasize the importance of not assuming and as a reminder to project authors to include information, like what their project is and does, in their documentation. Such information should be included per common sense, but alas, it often isn't.
