I don’t understand these kinds of people. Do the text recognition part of their brain completely shuts down when their eyes look at a warning/error message? Like do they only see amorphous blobs in place of the warning/error message?
I’ve worked with developers like this in the past. They’ll see an error come up, read it, and then sort of just start clicking on random stuff and refreshing the page. Eventually, you roll over and say “Hey man, how’s dev going?” And they may or may not say “hmm, got this error…”, at which point you enter into the most frustrating partner programming session of your life, because they won’t stop scrolling and clicking when you’re trying to read the god damn error message on their screen
Sometimes (not in this instance) the error message is completely worthless. I remember one time trying to configure automatic backups in Cloud Native Postgres and it just wasn’t working, the errors were opaque. So I asked on the project’s github what the problem was and the devs were quite unhelpful. Some random user came along and said “Oh you need to set the S3 region like this…” and backups started working.
