Woah. #3 just blew my mind. What if we had a package for every language that linked the error to the top stack overflow thread or equivalent.

- vuciv1 5y agoI wanted to make this for myself in my terminal. It would read error output, search in a database I have, and then output how I fixed that error last time I received it. I am not quite sure how to intercept and inject terminal output though
- kubanczyk 5y agoI prefer we had generic search engines for the raw textual error messages. This reduces the fragility and vendor lock-in (like SO). Which is exactly the current situatuon.
- melvinroest 5y agoI prefer having both. Perhaps there's some opt-in/opt-out flag that allows you to not make clickable links. But having a database with most common errors sorted by programming experience in that particular language might be quite useful. I wouldn't be surprised if it would allow a programmer -- being a beginner in a new language -- quickly find his/her mistake most of the time.
