This is a rant about how so many apps on many different platforms (TVs, mobile devices, computers, etc...) have decided to not actually show detailed errors any more. Instead, we get something along the lines of:
Oops, somehting went wrong. Please try again later
.... and then, well, we get to figure out what just happened and what in the world we need to do about it. And good luck with that, since you have no idea what just failed.
Why software developers?!? Why have you forsaken us?
OK but then inherent in what you're saying is also the message, "... and don't contact us about this, because we don't want to deal with it" which is also mildly infuriating to me.
Iit’s an internal error that is not handled properly. They don’t want to tell you the exact error message and detailed information around that, because it would expose the internal state of the backend and that would be a security issue. There is really nothing more that they can tell you, except that a developer needs to look at this (and possibly thousands to tens or hundreds of thousands of similar logged errors) and they probably already are.
Maybe then, the message could be, "An internal error has occurred and we're going to work on fixing it but there's nothing you can do to fix it yourself right now". It's the "Oops" that fries my grits.
If you're tech-savvy enough to want detailed error messages, you should also be tech-savvy enough to understand the implied message you just typed out. The 'Oops' isn't for you, it's for the average user.
I do agree, the whole "oops sowwy" with a sad Labrador vibe is a little irritating. But I guess they do it cause it's a harmless and layman-friendly response.
LMFAO. I probably have to truncate at least five error log files a week on various vps servers at my company because they fill the SSD and crash the OS. We rent servers we don't dev them for our cx.
Largest error file I've seen so far is 32 GB
Site owners are normally clueless. Site developers normally can't give a single fuck and systems administrators like me. Get to pick up the pieces and tell them to tell their Deb to fix it and then we pick it up again and tell them to tell their Dev to fix it let me know when you sense a pattern
Are you not rotating your logs with for example logrotate?
You're assuming they aren't already aware of the issue.
Sorry but how does that help me?
What I'm saying is that when you see one of these messages you should interpret it as "something is wrong on our end, nothing you can or need to do on your end, please hang tight as we're aware of the issue and working on it". They don't give you more info than that because that average person is probably not a dev and doesn't have any need for more details than that.
But it's MY Internet, and I want it NOW!!
You're giving an incredibly large allowance for companies that have continuously calculated exactly how much they can fuck over their customers for more money before we decide to use some other product.
How does telling someone about a problem they're already aware of help you?
Of course if their servers and whatnot are shit they won't straight up tell you they are shit.
It's why modern multiplayer games don't even show everyone's latency anymore. It would let players know imperically that their servers are shit.
