Overview
About this service
Error messages are written for the person who wrote the code, not for you. Paste the message, the stack trace and roughly what you were doing when it appeared, and a senior engineer replies with what the error actually means, the two or three things that usually cause it, and the first thing to check. This is deliberately the cheapest thing we sell. It exists so that a stuck afternoon costs a hundred rupees instead of a day, and so you can see how we write before you spend more.
Deliverables
What you receive
- 01 A written explanation of what the error means in plain language
- 02 The two or three most likely causes, ordered by how common they are
