I read [an argument for only two log levels: INFO
and ERROR
][only-info-error].
I [responded][log-response] essentially saying:
- I lightly agree that we could get away with two log levels.
- I strongly disagree that we only need two ways to log.
Like the blog post's author, most of systems that I've worked on have had poor logging practices. But unlike the blog post's author, I strongly suspect that's because most logging APIs offer poor affordances.
