HOLY SHIT!

I'm on vacation!? What the fuck! (Well, I will be, this is being written about 6 weeks in advance) This is the first actual planned vacation vacation I've been on in 5 years. 5 years to the day. (maybe off by 1... or 2) So, instead…

Azure Function Logging

There's a few resources out there about customizing the logging of Azure Functions... but none worked for me. I mean, one worked. This blog post. Even it doesn't SPECIFY the setting, just assumes it'll be inferred. Well... I did. But I'm going…
