TheOnly92 | 13 years ago | on: A Manifesto For Error Reporting

What I think is that, depending on your users though, they do not understand your backend enough to make proper error reporting.

The "Bad argument" example, they don't know how many different situation triggers the same error, they don't know if what they did before will help you figure out their problem. In short, they don't know enough to be helpful.

I don't have any great solution to this, but putting a middleman who, although can't help you with programming, knows what is helpful and what is not enough to provide useful error reporting to you might solve it.

I believe it's the same, you'll waste no more time at a failing project while being able to put your time into a possibly successful next project.

Essentially a leader is not defined by your ability in doing something, it's defined by how well you are able to utilize your team's ability to achieve something that can't be done by one person.

Well actually regardless of that, Apple is a brand that people trust, and of course there are times that Apple might fail and we criticize because we trust they can do a better job.

To me it's much better that "this product is shit" than "ah it's apple, what do you expect?".

I've been writing a web app with Go for the past weeks, and for what I can say is that yes, Go has less magic in it, and if you don't do it right, you'll get a lot of duplicated code. It's not designed from the ground up as a web language so it might not be as suitable to write web apps using Go as other languages, but it's a real pleasure to write in Go.
