Really needed that emotional support from RStudiopic.twitter.com/BFC53TePu1
Been working on an "Auto TA" to help novices understand/debug error messages in R (https://github.com/willcrichton/r-autota …). Emotional empathy is definitely challenging. I personally see a "friendly" interface as "more text I have to read", but some people really appreciate/need it.

Wow, so cool! Esp like the search query w/ explanation I wonder if reframing from "errors" to something like "next todo" would be helpful.. error implies a "failure" to reach perfection on first try, but I think experts see it as natural part of iterating towards completion

Reminds me of something from Mindstorms... powerful moment when students realize teacher actually doesn't know why a bug is happening, and they can genuinely debug together as a normal part of the creative process
