  <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> can I use monero dev to ask dev questions unrelated to monero?

  <o​rion_midast:matrix.org> or is that just #monero-offtopic:monero.social

  what is it with developers wanting to overhaul logging mechanisms all the time

  how can you ever get into programming without learning "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

  But a lot of the fun in programming is rewriting stuff just because you can...

  So you need a balance between fun and work.

  <0​xfffc:matrix.org> hyc keep in mind “if ain't broke don’t fix it” is true until its not.

  <0​xfffc:matrix.org> By the way, logging is great opportunity to learn the code base without getting into the sensitive security related code

  <0​xfffc:matrix.org> “If ain't broke don’t fix it” philosophy perfectly fits to NNT philosophy twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1585960585795350528?lang=en

  rewriting logging is like "hello world", but more fun

  I had an excuse for myself: debugging monero with spammy logs was fucking painful originally.

  moneromooo: I saw you in git blame. Was comparing with what was there previously, and your improvements. Thanks for cleaning that up. Although I prefer to clean it since it has run its course (after ~5 years).

  Anybody is running Kubuntu or any distro with of KDE desktop env? (I don't use KDE, I just need a default config file for baloo, should be located at /etc/baloofilerc or ~/.config/baloofilerc).

  gingeropolous: once the underlying framework changed you are not going to notice anything since the usage API will stay same.
