Ask HN: Is there a way to store encountred errors and their solutions?

2 points by zeynepevecen 4y ago ↗ HN

I've been coding for about 2 years and recently I noticed that I often encounter the same error messages in different projects.

I mostly remember how to solve a particular error but sometimes it takes a lot of time to figure out all over again. So I tried to store error messages and solutions on notion, but it got very complicated very quickly.

I am wondering are there methodologies for this issue or do you have any ideas how to store them?

In effect that's what Stackoverflow et al + your favourite search engine do!

And if you find a error/question on-line that matches yours be sure to post your solution if possible.

I have many times come upon my previous questions and solutions with a general search: sometimes they help!

Yep great advice I always read stack overflow posts but never posted anything.
