This looks really, really cool. In the Python world, we can rely on tools like Sentry to be able to say "on any exception or logger.warning, crawl the stack and show me all the variables at every level." And we've also set up Honeycomb to record log entries as OpenTelemetry spans, which lets us see logs in context of database queries etc., and do structured queries about when and how certain things occur. Which means that we can just instruct our team to "err on the side of adding simple log statements, even if it's just a static string without variables; we can dig for those reactively."

But in a codebase where far more of the complexity is in native code and doesn't cross network boundaries, I imagine folks feel like they're flying blind without those tools that we Python devs can take for granted. So Patchwork is desperately needed. I'd be very curious to see how your larger observability platform integrates with the broader world of OpenTelemetry, where the native code might be part of a broader distributed system. It's cool to see this space moving forward so quickly!
