Funny I was thinking this week logging needs some magic.
Log diving takes a lot of time especially during some kind of outage/downtime/bug where the whole team might be watching a screen share of someone diving into logs.
At the same time I am sceptical about "AI" especially if it is just an LLM stumbling around.
Understanding logs is probably the most brain intensive part of the job for me, more so than system design, project planning or coding.
This is because you need to know where the code is logging, imagine code paths in your head and you constantly see stuff that is a red herring or doesn't make sense.
I hope you can improve this space but it won't be easy!
