Developers know: a different error is often better than no error!

Every dev has celebrated a "new" error like it's a promotion. Progress in this field is measured in stack traces, not straight lines 😅

Software engineering is basically just traversing a linked list of different error messages until you hit null. 😅

Developers and Marketers both agree: 'Something went wrong' is the worst error ever. Give us a different error, give us a stack trace, give us ANYTHING 😂 At Xponic Marketing Services we apply the same logic to campaigns — data > guesswork. Thanks for the reminder!

Well, some error with message is still better than an error with no message

new error means the old one is solved. That's what progress looks like.

What?? While a different error is progress, no error is the final goal. I disagree with the statement in your post.

Yes different error is saying us we fix the old one and we are happy with new error.🤣
