Comment on Oops, something went wrong!
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 day agoAll I’m saying is that the vast majority of “oops” issues happen before step one. Client-side issues. For those, give an error code. All the stuff you talked about, there’s little to nothing users can do. And yeah, it could definitely be done better, but it would require abandoning the “ooh shiny new thing” mentality of tech companies. Updates just to boost resumes, deprecation of anything user friendly. It’s an endemic cultural problem.

Why do you think the vast majority of these messages come from client side issues? I worked as a Site Reliability Engineer at Facebook. We had data on client side errors too. Crash logs are sent to the servers when a client side error happens. There’s not really one source that constitutes a “vast majority” of these error messages, but I can tell you that the plurality of them come from the caching layer.
