@worldsendless When did you learn to code? I'm pretty sure it was used in the mid 90s, but you had to roll your own system back then (which was true for so many things that are now done by libraries)
@worldsendless IME even in professional software development it is often something of a token activity or unnecessary chore
@winenous Oh, it's been around since before "software engineering" became a thing. But logging is not something taught in beginner courses or undergrad CS courses. It is far from "hello world". It is like an extra-curricular topic.
