A unique error code would accomplish the same thing, but I get your point.
This happens to me all the time with the software project I work on, which is enormous and has been around for a long, long time: the error messages usually aren't very useful. Neither is the log. In fact, the log is often little more than all the debug messages created during development.
- nulagrithom 9y agoA unique error code will accomplish little. It will serve mostly to bewilder and frustrate you after discovering many users can't (or won't) remember so much as two numbers. What I'm saying is take the unique error code and add an absurd/funny phrase to the number. It's easier for people to remember an odd mental image than it is ERROR CODE -42.
- anitil 9y agoI could see a use for an error code generator that would come up with memorable nonsense sentences sort of like imgur's urls. "Error : Green Exemplary Huemul" rather than "Error : -42"
