As a user, all the cloud services errors seem to do is generate a huge internal debugging string that I can't find by googling. My university's MS administrators have outright told me that they are useless. Why can't I authenticate to this service? Why do I get "Sorry, something went wrong" – they don't know. The error comes and goes periodically. It's infuriating.
As the other poster said, error codes made a lot of sense when bytes were expensive (you could fit 255 kinds of fail in a single one!). Bytes are no longer expensive. Brain time is more expensive now. Optimise for that – and be descriptive.
