Read Original

The article criticizes the prevalent culture of logging in software development, arguing that logging often lacks purpose. It proposes alternatives: making bad states unreachable through type safety, using specialized error monitoring tools like Sentry for critical failures, and implementing business-level monitoring to ensure application functionality. The author advocates for a clear distinction between ignorable failures and critical issues requiring immediate attention.
