Question for programmers re “Show me your flowchart and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowchart; it'll be obvious." -- Fred Brooks, The Mythical Man Month (1975) Where do logs fit in this idea?

Logs in CS: more formal as a concept, and geared toward the complete replication of state. The term is prevalent in database architecture, logs being central to DB implementations. Kafka's innovation is to break out logs as a first class systems building block.

Logs as pop culture (and common programming practice): e.g. web server logs (who hit us, from where, with what), or some other application servers logs (systematized printfs for visibility, basically): state recovery limited at best.
