Don’t be the log

I’m not sure what it’s like to use a log as an actual tool, but I’ve seen enough tech forums to know that there are people out here who genuinely think they’re experts just because they can type some code. This is especially true for those of us who work with Linux systems and command-line tools. It seems like no matter how many times we remind users not to use the log as an actual tool, someone always has a story about how it’s worked perfectly fine for them in the past. Of course, this isn’t actually possible - logs are designed specifically for human consumption, not machine execution. They’re meant to be read and understood by humans, not executed directly on the system. So when you use a log as an actual tool, you’re essentially asking your computer to do something that it’s never intended to do. And what happens then? Well, let me tell you - all sorts of things can go wrong.
