The domain name reminds me of the venerable DOS "debug.com" command, which managed to combine an interactive and scriptable debugger, assembler, and disassembler into a program weighing a few kilobytes. I spent many long hours in my youth using it to reverse engineering copy protection on games. I really wish we had a similar tool for the modern era.
WinDbg?

WinDbg?
WinDbg is a cool, but debug.com predates it by quite a bit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debug_(command)
My favorite thing about WinDbg is that many people pronounce it "Windbag".

No thanks. I’m very concerned some short term thinking behind a plan to alter the biology of our environment will have various side effects no one anticipated. It has happened many, many times before. Same with geo engineering in general - hard to trust the incentives, competency, and long term side effects.
The species is not native. Surely we can agree that eradicating non-native species is a good thing?
So...which areas is humanity native to?
Mosquitoes are a vector that spreads disease-causing germs to a population. The proposed solution is to use different mosquitoes as different vector that spreads a different disease-causing germ to a different population.

Thus making it "a similar tool for the modern era" as you were asking for, IMO. My favorite thing about WinDbg is that many people pronounce it "Windbag".
So, no, WinDbg has nothing to do with debug.com.

Okay, but is it not what you wished for, "a similar tool for the modern era"? edit: I see I simul-posted with u/modeless, but I can't remove it now that there's a (duplicate) reply. Maybe mods can remove or at least collapse mine (their ID is one lower so they were first)

The symmetry is amusing. This is really fighting fire with fire. Mosquitoes are a vector that spreads disease-causing germs to a population. The proposed solution is to use different mosquitoes as different vector that spreads a different disease-causing germ to a different population.
They won't harm then it sounds like, but they'll not fertilize the eggs.
I might be an idiot.
