But you're going to need those debug messages when you're debugging
I second this so much. Clean up your debug diagnostics mess into something readable and useful instead of turning it off. Otherwise you’re deliberately throwing valuable info away. Yes you can re-enable it, but will that bad thing happen again today or in two months? You’ll need them when something goes wrong (and it sure will). There is no point in having logs like “it started”, “it working”, “it failed”. When they ask you how it failed and how to fix that, you’ll be more likely able to answer quickly.
