Minor nitpick, but I wish this post started with defining what we mean by logging vs tracing, since some people use these interchangeably. The reader instead has to infer this from the criticisms of logging.
I've never encountered this confusion anywhere, so I wouldn't ever think to dispel it. Which isn't to say that I disagree with the more general point that defining your terms is good thing.
In any case, the post itself (which is not long) illustrates and marks out many of the differences.
I wouldn't assert that the confusion is non-existent. But I think the audience for a post comparing technical differences between logging and tracing is unlikely a junior one.
But again, I do think the (brief) post marks out the differences throughout, so regardless, it still doesn't strike me as a problem here.
I agree. I'm working with code that uses 'verbose "message"' for level 1 verbosity logs and 'trace "message"' for level 2 verbosity. Makes sense in its world, but it's not the same meaning as how cloud-devops-observability culture uses those words.
