"The best error message is the one that never shows up." โ€“ Thomas Fuchs This statement suggests that a well-designed system should prevent errors rather than just handle them elegantly. But is this really practical? ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ฌ๐ž ๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐ˆ๐ญ: โœ… Prevention is key โ€“ A system designed to guide users correctly minimizes mistakes. โœ… Better UX โ€“ Users shouldn't have to see error messages if intuitive design prevents errors in the first place. โœ… Real-time validation โ€“ Smart design, like disabling invalid options or guiding user inputs, reduces errors before they occur. โšก ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ฌ๐ž ๐€๐ ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ญ: โŒ Errors are inevitable โ€“ No system is perfect, and some errors are simply unpredictable. โŒ Clear error messages are crucial โ€“ Users need feedback when things go wrong, or they'll be lost. โŒ Over-restricting users can backfire โ€“ Too much error prevention might limit user flexibility. So, developers, whatโ€™s your take? Should we strive to eliminate errors entirely, or is a great error message just as important?
