> The GUID vs Int problem is incidental to the real problem: poorly formatting logs. This. The author's arguments boil down to "UUIDs are bad because the way I generate my logs is an unusable mess". The ints vs UUIDs problem is also specious because a UUID is nothing more than a 16 byte int that's generated in a clever way. It might typically be presented in a particular string representation but the text string is not the value of the UUID.
