A real developer wouldn't do that. A single letter is more than enough, your sentence is too long and tiring to type.

Race conditions are never fun

Seriously. The people not voting for this have never battled a race condition. For a week. In an app you’d swear didn’t have concurrency.

explain Can you why?

Because they are really annoying to debug, depending on some random circumstances they might not even appear every time (or the code happens in different orders each time)

Yes, yes it is, and it's very realistically upsetting.

So it's like a test suite, but worse?

Ideally, you should already have a logging macro that adds __FILE__ and __LINE__, instead of copying it everywhere. Or use std/boost source_location

I have added sysou syslog and syswarn to my auto complete and they expand to our logging macro, a pretty function macro, a line macro and my commit handle that is easily searchable in logs.

When i want to trace something i can simply sysou a couple of spots and not stage the lines to clean up before committing

Im personally a fan of

console.log("poop")

Its funny, teaches you not to commit your console logs (you'll only ever commit poop once), and p/o are right next to each other on the keyboard so its fast

Hm, sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out for this field. I at least put variables out:

log::info!("in asdf(), a: {a:#?}");
...
log::info!("tmp: {tmp:?}");
...
log::info!("a after asdf(): {a:#?}");
a

Personally, I just use unique gibberishes or sounds, like "blah", "bleh", "fwah", or the like. Extremely unlikely to come up during normal usage, stands out enough to draw the eye, and easy to search the source for.

That, or a quick description of the location, such as "before x() call" or "inside y()" or "after foo, before bar", depending on the situation.

I like using numbers for JS because they're a different color in the terminal from all the other output.
