Actually one of my favorite parts of the MOSP hunt is the rec letter in the Epilogue of Chapter 1.

Are these log messages too snarky?

log "♻️  RELOAD TRIGGERED. Every day I'm shuffling 🔀"
# …
log "☀️  GOOD MORNING, my glorious webmaster! How are you this fine $(date +"%A in %B")?"
log "🩷 Please enjoy these logs, I wrote them just for you 💌🖋️"

I'm always reminded of this sentence in esr's how to ask questions

When asking your question, it is best to write as though you assume you are doing something wrong, even if you are privately pretty sure you have found an actual bug. If there really is a bug, you will hear about it in the answer. Play it so the maintainers will want to apologize to you if the bug is real, rather than so that you will owe them an apology if you have messed up.

I feel like I always did this, and it just seemed like common sense to me. In fact, I assumed that's what everyone did. But apparently not?
