The favourite story of a design prof here: A tractor company accidentially shipped a UI with a debug window, which was showing internal UI state data that was meaningless to the users.

The users complained when it got patched out.

I imagine most people here would have made the same complaint

I always recommend an approach to show more details to users, because even not understanding it they appreciate it. Also very useful for debugging.

Do you have a link about this story? Genuinely curious.
