Hi, I normally contract in MSBI, Oracle, .Net/.Net Core, focusing on a property platform at the moment. Have also been working hard on upgrading my limited company website too.
10 years ago, I consulted at a large financial institution and build a log file reporting solution which could monitor replicated global data loaders, instrument usage. Ultra configurable using C# regular expressions. It ended up in SQL a Server data warehouse I built, SSAS cubes and had SSRS subscriptions to persist the data for reports to show in their monitoring screens.
Fast forward to my last contract where I worked on a calculation engine and web application, I had to fight with the team to put a standardised logging framework into the application because somebody had built their own nonsensical approach which didn't even capture the stack trace.
Logging is essential and often the only chance a developer will have to understand what production applications are doing.

Yeah. It happens all the time. I think this is how I look at development. Surely somebody has already done this - unfortunately not. But yes, so many reinvented wheels.
:D

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Ah, the old badly reinvented wheel. Ouch.
