It is pretty damn hard to reliably operate a service that you can’t introspect or debug in any way. The real world is more creative than you; things will happen in production that you didn’t think of in your synthetic test fixtures.

That’s still no excuse. Maybe Bill has to access some customer data to troubleshoot. Fine, log it. Maybe Susan has to look at sensitive logs to fix a bug. Fine, log it. These aren’t new or unsolvable problems.

Who says there weren’t logs? They got caught.
