User-Facing Errors

Show appropriate messages to users

Users need different messages than developers. Hide technical details and provide actionable guidance.

catch (error) {
  console.error(error); // Full details for devs
  
  // Friendly message for users
  showNotification(
    "Unable to save. Please try again."
  );
}

Never expose stack traces or internal errors to users.
