Hell yes! Went to a conference last week (THAT Conference Wisconsin - THAT) and the second day’s opening keynote was “To Err is Human, To Really Screw Things Up you need Software” by Alan Shreve, founder of ngrok. Some of his points, I disagreed with, but I don’t think anybody could disagree with one of his big ones, that the state of error messages in this business is absolutely horrible, usually falling far short of being clear and actionable.

More things need to follow how the rust ecosystem does errors, very descriptive and helpful.
