My coding buddy swears by error messages, but I find them baffling.

Some people say error messages point you right to the problem. Others feel lost with terms like 'syntax error' without clear examples. How do you see it?

Those messages can be incredibly vague though. A missing bracket might throw an error fifty lines later. It's more like getting a hint than an answer.

For a syntax error, just check the line it points to first.
