I neglect writing good loggers. I need someone to write a good Hitchhiker's Guide to logging well.
I just feel like most of my coding practice, I have lots of ideas and preferences for why and how to do things. Except logging. I do that haphazardly. And, when there is a problem, my logs rarely help, so they are bad logs.

I feel like logging is tough to make sense of generally because its just a lot of info. Ingesting the logs into a logviewer like logstash is helpful because it's definitely easier to see patterns as a function of time.

Yea. It's also tough to learn good patterns though, because use of logs and writing logging code is separated by a lot of time and code. That's why I think there is room for a best practices guide that accretes lessons.
