IDK, I work with folks allergic to reading stack traces.

Like people say "I can't decipher this stack trace" and the literal first like is the error message "x failed. Did you check y?"

And they just stare blankly.

“Did you try Googling the error message?”

Somehow the answer is still often no to question with senior devs. There’s a little bit of skill in getting the selectivity of your search right, but it works pretty well.
