### Log and error messages

**Log messages** (that is, those passed to `logger.Noticef` or `logger.Debugf`) should begin with a capital letter, and use "Cannot X" rather than "Error Xing":
```go
logger.Noticef("Cannot marshal logs to JSON: %v", err)
```

**Error messages** should be lowercase, and again use "cannot ..." instead of "error ...":
```go
fmt.Errorf("cannot create log client: %w", err)
```
