🔍 The Error Maze

Errors can be painful. Confusing. Frustrating. But they can also be a weirdly great place to learn if you don't let them break your spirit.

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

Like Churchill, we should keep going. Keep smiling. Keep trying.

But let's be honest: some errors (especially in production) feel like being trapped in a maze of logs, with nothing but broken breadcrumbs to guide you. It's a black hole. You start your day full of hope and six hours later, you're still staring at the same vague stack trace.

What a waste, hein?

Tools are great, but...

I've used tools like @Datadog and @NewRelic and they're amazing. Truly. But the problem is rarely the tool.

It's how we throw and shape our errors.

Too often, we treat error handling like an afterthought:

Will this help someone fix the problem… or will it ruin their day?

That someone might be you.
