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?

    I hate the oops part. When you get an error message and it’s not even professional or technical but flimsy, I lose all respect.

    At my job an Oops design was suggested. I’m glad I was able to convince us to implement it differently, without that shit tone and unprofessionalism.
