I had an Engineering Culture thought today while watching Chris Pierce

give a Developer's Toolbox talk on DataDog and how the engagement product

team is using the tool. He pulled up all the errors in the past few minutes

and I wondered what our error logs in Kibana looked like. Turns out, there are

a lot of them. I wasn't sure who's responsibility it is to fix those, and then

I got thinking about Sentry errors and how hard it is to triage things.

So here it is. What if when we name loggers, we have loggers named for

specific squads. So if we look up all the logs with the name

`squad-partnership` they'll all show up in Kibana or Sentry or wherever. We

already have a mod for squad ownership, so it could be defined in there. You

could even use some funky namespace if you didn't want to lose the context of

the module, though I think that module is there somewhere anyhow.
