I will stop here, sorry but I think we have limited time to listen to opinions and nowadays since they are abundant on social media we should give preference to the substantiated ones.
> If something needs to be fixed, why is it just a log?
What he meant is that is an unexpected condition, that should have never happened, but that did, so it needs to be fixed.
> How is someone supposed to even notice a random error log?
Logs should be monitored.
> At the places that I've worked, trying to make alerting be triggered on only logs was always quite brittle, it's just not best practice.

I understand the sentiment, but some programs cannot/should not exit. Or you have an error in a subsystem that should not bring down everything.
I completely agree with the approach of the author, but also understand that good logging discipline is rare. I worked in many places where logs sucked, they just dumped stuff, and had to restructure them.

Not saying that it's not what has kept them standing until now, but the buyers make the price in this case. So who knows what the price could become in the future.
> Will they try to buy it out and bring a (even more) fascist autocratic regime there? Probably yes.

She reminds me of the old people managing their crumbling shops in Japan that are popular on youtube. Being still able to work is nice, as long as you are not forced to just to survive.
