This is such a weird article. He's wondering why engineers ... look at log files? He's wondering why people still just manually look at a file instead of paying some bloatware SAAS service to use AI to badly analyze your own logs? What is this? Just a terrible attempt at shilling for Loggly or something? I'm so confused.

No I think the real insight is that production systems benefit from professional log monitoring tools more and dev environments benefit from real time light-weight on-demand immediacy of tailing.

He is increasing our understanding and awareness and warning us of the trap of tailing production systems because we get so used to doing it in dev.
