It's better for the developers because they don't have to do a) or b) which involve work. Modern software development is thick with optimizing for developer convenience and externalising the cost of that to everyone else. Better for the company because they don't have to pay to develop or test or maintain a) or b), can release the simpler product sooner and move the developers onto new features which increase income.
You're unlikely to stop being a customer because an error said "Oops! Something went wrong" instead of "Error: {fb964102-bac4-4f9e-b671-62c047cb350e}".
- wizofaus 4y agoI don't buy that it's better for developers at all, because a significant % of the time you get such errors is because of an issue in the code that we then have to track down and fix. And it's never the developers arguing for such messages. Lazy devs might think nothing of popping up a message showing just the exception name/message or error code which I'd argue is better than just "oops...".
