You can (sometimes) debug the firmware in RAM, but this is complicated, 
not 100% the same as running it from flash and requires different 
linking. And of course your whole program must fit in RAM...

Count how many times a day you actually program the chip, then divide 
this 10k by that number. Do you really expect to write THE SAME chip for 
THAT MANY days? I _never_ damaged the flash in a microcontroller, even 
when I used Microchip's dsPIC33 chips which had that number at 100-1000, 
not 10k-100k as typical ARM MCU has.
