Whenever I unravel a hard-to-diagnose bug, my first step is always to put a better error message in the place where it would have been properly diagnosed.

- kbenson 10y agoSure. I can't recall the last bug that brought this feeling (sigh, the circle continues), but I vaguely recall it being a weird interaction or behavior when interacting with some remote system, and it wasn't in fixing a bug that popped up, but in implementing a new feature or system that interacted in a similar way, but the prior implementation was either in a different project or had since been discarded. I know that's vague. That probably means I'll encounter this again and not identify it as the same problem. :/ I think I need to make a concerted effort to get more sleep.
