A clear case of insufficient logs, mainly crash logs and stack traces.
BTW, what kind of software do you build that is so fragile that on every
release you get obscure bugs?
- azeirah 9y ago> A clear case of insufficient logs, mainly crash logs and stack traces. The problem that inspired this post was that the log I got was incomplete, is the solution really just bruteforce more logs? The specific case is that I use PyInstaller[1] which can sometimes just report painfully useless error messages. To get the right information, I basically need a debugger, which is why I'm interested in tightening the feedback loop. > BTW, what kind of software do you build that is so fragile that on every release you get obscure bugs? I'm the sole developer and owner of a business that serves a few thousand users, the software ends up on computers all over the world, I have clients in China, Netherlands, America, Brazil, etc.. It's for Twitch streamers, they are everywhere. I'm also only 21 years old. So I don't have a huge amount of experience in software development, even though I've been developing software for like 7 years now. [1] PyInstaller is a tool that packages Python software for deployment as a .exe
