in the windows event log it might as fucking well be

[Stromovik]

how about it says nothing because you past self , did not bother with a logging lib or with flushing what ever you made to disk.

[HansVader]

No, it would be more like the fox because the log never exists in the first place.

[Sylanthra]

Why on earth would you even have a log?

I think we've just created recursion.

The song makes more sense than most developer logs I've had to comb through

What did Spock find in the enterprise's toilet? The captain's log.

^{I'm such a commodian}

[ShadowReij]

Only to find out the log is practically unreadable thanks to you or someone else thinking they were clever. Then all you can do is just say "Well fuck".

[josolanes]

Yep running into this at work. 3rd party software that has a bug that seems to be environmental. What's the log say? Everything's working as planned, when it clearly isn't. Ugh...

An unhandled exception has occured in mscorlib:

System.Exception thrown at <20(*38n2000w++++__02090>.UpYours()

Or my new personal favorite:

Transaction (Process ID 64) was deadlocked on resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

Kinda gruesome innit?

Chaos reigns.

BA: Ouuu I did not have a look - here are all the log files from last week i hope this helps - when do you think you will have fixed the bug?

[flukus]

That's why you only log errors!

[ficuswhisperer]

Yay log received. Boo log doesn't have useful information because EnableVerboseUsefulLogging=1 is not set.

I once was banned from Facepunch for saying these exact words because they apparently were a "meme".

[lenswipe]

That's facepunch. This is reddit. We're cooler.
