Have you considered learning how to read a stacktrace?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (4 children)

It is 2023 my brother in christ! We deserve better error outputs than a stack trace.

  1. Tell me what line in my file caused the error,
  2. Tell me the values of the variables involved,
  3. Then you can have the stack trace.

Why are we pretending like these error messages are acceptable in 2023?!

(This is not just a Zappa quote, but an actual error description from the Small Device C Compiler.)
