What a nice world you must live in where all your code is perfectly clean, documented and properly tracked.

And not subject to compliance based retention standards

Well I didn't say anything about perfectly clean, but I agree, it's very nice to work on my current projects which we've set up our observability to modern standards when compared to any of the log vomiting services I've worked on in the past.

Obviously easier to start with everything set up nicely in a Greenfield project, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good—iterative improvements on badly designed observability nearly always pays off.
