Are Log Levels Useless? (prefab.cloud)

Oh wow, i love this. I worked at an org that allowed you to dynamically change log levels at the project & class level. It was an absolute game changer.

Log levels are great but it always feels like you're working with too little or way too much information. So dialing up the level of information for a subset of your code base is great as it lets you limit the amount of unnecessary information that ends up in your logs.


Totally. It doesn't sound like a teeny thing, but it made working at HubSpot feel like I had access to alien technology.

Once you've gotten used to it, very hard to remember how you lived with it.

Curious: did you find it more impactful for getting debug? or saving money by not doing info level unless you needed it?
