Nothing frustrates me more than comments using hyperboles they copied from somewhere else. Personally I do prefer some visual indication that something crashed. Like a sad face on the side of an error, or whatever you can quickly add. That way I know I don’t have to read the whole thing. That doesn’t mean they have to use some edgy description like you’re pretending they do.

I’m figuring that most people here are aware of this meme, which is a slight exaggeration but still serves as a useful point of discussion. There’s no denying that there’s been a trend recently of hiding error messages and instead providing overly saccharine but unhelpful interfaces in their place.
