Logging like 'Pi' – card

“Captain’s Log, Stardate 41153.7”

There’s something iconic about the way Captain Jean-Luc Picard begins his entries in Star Trek. I fondly remember it.

As a developer, I constantly make decisions, either with or without the help of llms:

• Why did I choose this solution?
• What was the goal I wanted to achieve?
• What alternatives did I consider?
• What bugs did I encounter and how were they resolved?
• Which decision did I make?

However, six months later, you’re staring at code wondering, “What was I (and my LLM) thinking?” 🤭
