I mean, all I can really say is... if writing some logging takes you one or two days, are you sure you _really_ know how to code?

[boxedemp]

Ever worked on a distributed system with hundreds of millions of customers and seemingly endless business requirements?

Some things are complex.

[shepherdjerred]

You're right, you're better than me!

You could've been curious and ask why it would take 1-2 days, and I would've happily told you.

[jamesmcq]

I'll bite, because it does seem like something that should be quick in a well-architected codebase. What was the situation? Was there something in this codebase that was especially suited to AI-development? Large amounts of duplication perhaps?

[fendy3002]

Well someone who says logging is easy never knows the difficulty of deciding "what" to log. And audit log is different beast altogether than normal logging

[streetfighter64]

Audit logging is different because it's actually more straightforward than "normal logging". You just make a log entry for each state change, basically. Especially if you're storing the log entries as "objects" instead of plain text.

Besides, do you think that a LLM would be better at deciding what to log than a human that has even just a little experience with the actual system in question?

Audit logging is different than developer logging… companies will have entire teams dedicated to audit systems.

We're not as good at coding as you, naturally.

[streetfighter64]

You're being sarcastic, but clearly what you're saying is literally true. So...
