Use Console.app as a tool for code testing
Haha! - This is a great hint. While there are many apps that detect when the file is changed from underneath, the ability to mark the file and do other things is great. As a developer, I end up eating log files more often than not, because it is an useful way of testing/debugging. This hint makes it more palatable.

Just hold opt+cmd when you drop on the icon - it will load it anyway.
This is prob a hint in itself - you can generally drop anything on anything if you hold opt+cmd.... The Console app is really great though, and much more useful than tail -f from terminal, IMO. I have an alias in my shell for easy opening of files in Console:
This is in zsh, but I believe the syntax is the same for bash.
I then just type con logfile to tail the file.
