Be Kind to Your Log File (and Those Reading It)
The log file has existed since programmer time immemorial. The software world moves really fast, but it's not hard to imagine someone decades ago poring over a log file. This is, perhaps, as iconic as programming itself.
But sadly, for many shops, the approach hasn't really evolved in all of that time. "Dump everything to a file and sort it out later, if you ever need it," was the original idea. And that holds up to this day.
