Debugging · interview question
A teammate submits shaky logging code. Which review comment is the strongest?
Multiple choiceMediumchapter-5-curatedpremiumdebugginglogging
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
D. Make the rule clearer and easier to explain. Log the important state transitions and identifiers so the operator can reconstruct what happened quickly.
Why
The best review comment anchors the change to readability, correctness, and future maintenance. Too little logging hides the story, but noisy logs bury the one field or event you actually need.
