How are you supposed to fix bugs in your program where:
1. it has been investigated before and was not found how to reproduce it
2. it cannot be tested at all
3. never happens on the test environment

    If a bug is not reproducible, it does not exist

    Add more logs so if it pops up keep adding more logs until you figure out what happened

    I used c realloc the wrong way everywhere in my programming language and it never faulted. Only if you would execute it thousands of times like in batch it COULD go wrong 😁 Found out later, never destroyed an evening 😁 And yes, the language was well tested in its own language

    @awesomeest no memset / zerofill after it so I could randomly contain a zero somewhere is my theory

    @retoor im shit at saving/backing up my code (even worse at it being decipher-able for others... seriously, im great at writing crypto and compression algos but naturally dont even need them) but base level storage in C is one thing ive kept snippets of for over 2 decades. Im a data architecture nerd for sure... with a horribly invalid frame of reference to what is "normal". That said, i appreciate the insight.

    @jestdotty And then you get a 5000$ bill from Azurem, becaouse you logged 5 TB of data per day withj "detailed logs".

    Not viable in production. Production logs should be as minimalistics as possible.

    @NoToJavaScript this so why I don't make myself dependent on Goliath companies that are not at all invested in my success wtf

    We have strayed so far from functional. Seriously. Cloud logging services? Lol
