My blogging career had a false start in 2022.

My first-ever piece was published in the wake of my first startup failure. I figured, for all the wrong reasons, that it was an opportune time to raise my profile as a strong, high-agency tech guy.

I needed to launch big. All guns blazing. I began my illustrious path to Substack stardom with a definitive codex on… *checks notes*… why not to use print().

The less said about my long hair the better

This slightly dodgy editorial showed little of the taverny goodness you’ve come to know and love, but it was correct in one important way:

You are, in fact, using print statements wrong.

Today, we’re going to get you using SwiftLog once and for all.
