Do You Ever Just Look At Your Error Message Like This

You know that moment when your code crashes, you check the error message, and it's so cryptic and unhelpful that you just... stare at it with pure contempt? Like, thanks for telling me "undefined is not a function" for the 47th time today, but WHICH undefined? WHERE? The angry stare of betrayal when your error message gives you absolutely nothing to work with. You're not reading it anymore, you're just having a silent standoff with your terminal, wondering if intimidation will make it reveal more details. Spoiler: it won't.

The Aristocratic C++ Compiler

Darling, you wish to understand the C++ compiler? *flips hair dramatically* The compiler doesn't EXPLAIN itself to mere mortals. It sits there in its aristocratic splendor, looking down upon your peasant code with utter disdain. You'll spend YEARS trying to decipher its cryptic error messages that might as well be written in ancient hieroglyphics. "Expected ';' before '}'" - WHICH ONE? THERE ARE FIFTY BRACES IN THIS FILE! The C++ compiler isn't just a tool, it's a centuries-old noble that has SEEN THINGS and judges you accordingly. Your relationship with it will be less of a partnership and more of you begging for mercy while it sips tea with its pinky out.
