Why Logging Is Important

Why you need logging before you realize you’ll need it. Because when the user says, “I ran into an error…” but then fails to tell you the details, or the order of events leading up to it, and even the error itself, logging would save you.

Instead of saying, “well, let me know if you run into it again, and write down the exact error and everything you did before it happened,” you can say, “alright, I can see what happened after I just looked in the logs.”
