You might want to change the log level dynamically to get more debug information without restarting, or more easily turn off logging to save money. In either case, this breaks down into a 2 part problem. 1. Capture the user intent to change

I'm working on giving you more options for saving money on logging with dynamic log levels: https://prefab.cloud/features/log-levels/ The hypothesis being that you can save money by turning things down, but e

Totally. The difference between the statement "i don't know what you do" and the request "I think it's important that you spend time explaining to me what it is you do" is vast. But it's easy to read the f

May need to agree to disagree :) I'm saying that we should write: httpClient.get("my/url", timeout: config.get("http.timeout")) Where config is a library smart enough to do some rule evaluation over a live upda

Yes. Env vars beat constants but have stunted our thinking because we know deep down it's not a great idea to have too too many. Config files are better, but can lead to the mess described here and typically only give us crude axes for

And if you are interested in making all of your configuration typesafe, please get in touch. I have things I want to show you.
