Occam’s Razor
I spent hours today trying to determine why a system was not logging certain critical application events! It was very frustrating!
Ultimately, it transpired that the system was logging the events, and that I was looking in the wrong log! This mistake was not really my fault, so at least I did not feel like an idiot :)
A colleague noted that this was a typical example of Occam’s Razor. At least I learned something from this experience!
