This is part of the Semicolon&Sons Code Diary - consisting of lessons learned on the job. You're in the logging category.

When debugging in various environments, basic logging via console.log (or
logger.info level in other contexts) may be suppressed.
Therefore it's wiser, when you want the output to be displayed without tweaking
the environment, to go with a more serious log level like console.error() for
the duration of your debugging (then remove it afterwards).
This increases the likelihood your program will print the needed debugging info in the diverse set of environments your code might find itself (various CI systems, colleague's computers, staging servers, etc.)
