    The most useful thing you can do for simple scripts is never use the same log string in two locations in your code. If you reuse strings it can become very confusing where a specific log line printed from. In addition, write logs that let you trace the execution of the program, down to some kind of identifier that allows you to determine (for example) the exact iteration of a loop that caused an error.

      I’d use logger that prints the file and line number when logging, to avoid the question of: “where is the log coming from”
