Dood... Reading those logs must've been soooooooooo tedious. Why did they need you to dig around so many logs?

Well, the company at the time only had 10 developers and my role technically was figure out if it was system problems or actual code. So I'd read logs to figure it out, tedious was an understatement and honestly at this point 10 years later... I am forever grateful as I am the go to debugger at another company + it helps with my Open Source project.

All those hours made you an incredibly invaluable asset to the team. It's amazing how ten or so years ago, your programming journey started, and here you are now as a veteran.
