First, I have to ask some obvious questions.
1. Why isn't your first thought to recommend changing this to
```
logger.error("Doing this thing failed. Context Id: {}, SomeSettings: {}",
context.id, someSetting, ex);
```
2. Assuming for some reason they didn't want the first 3 log lines what
would you tell someone who just did
```
logger.error(ex);
```
If I saw that I would tell them to add some descriptive text to describe
what was being attempted. A stack trace with no other info is a software
engineers nightmare.
to be honest, I would very close to doing:
```
if (obj instanceof Throwable) {
LOGGER.warn("You need new software engineers");
}
```
and then ignoring the event.
