What luxury! I’d kill for a copy-pasted error message! Usually I just get “it didn’t work.”

- extr 3y agoPeople notify you that something didn't work? What a treat! For me the work just doesn't get done, and you have to ask why before you get an explanation that there is some technical blocker.
- zurfer 3y agoPeople tell you that something did not work, after you ask them? I need to manage an email sequence with 8 follow ups to get explanations.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoI've built email notifications into the major stuff, so on failure, my bot sends them an email with the error message. I've got my address in the reply-to. So they reply "please advise" and hit send. For the minor stuff... a copy-pasted error message from the UI is luxury, you're right.
