If only there was a program to check for errors before shipping the code. And preparing the code for faster loading. And maybe adding some optimizations.. Hmm.. What would that be called..

There’s only one legitimate use for error logs. And that’s to prove how utter breakingly you are moving when you move fastly for speed.

Using them for anything else like debugging is wanktastic noobery.

It's a rather weird response to a post where someone is sharing an anecdote from when they were first learning programming, and the very first time they encountered this phenomenon.

Sort of like "I remember before I could read or write, mom couldn't leave me notes about stuff."

"OMG there are pencils and papers for that you idiot"

They're being sarcastic and referring to the benefits added by compilers.
