Make your errors boring

A good error says what happened, where, and what to do next. Everything else is decoration.

    A good error says what happened, where, and what to do next. Everything else is decoration.

    This is one of the sample posts that come with the Notebook theme. Write your own in Posts > Add New: give it a title, an excerpt (the summary under the title), a series (category, or Notes), tags and the text.

    Headings in the text make up the post's "On this page" outline, and every Code block gets a copy button. Give a Code block the class lang-sql (Advanced > Additional CSS class) to label it SQL.

    Comments, corrections, war stories?

    There are no comments here on purpose. If something is wrong or you have a better trick, send me an email and I will add the good ones to the post, with credit.
