Always log errors with sufficient context. Include the error message, the stack trace, and any relevant variables or application state that might help in debugging. Use a logging library (like Winston or similar) for structured logging, which allows for filtering and analysis. Avoid just logging the error message; the stack trace is crucial for pinpointing the error's location.
