Errors

What this is

Errors are normal signals that something needs attention.

They are not proof that the learner failed.

Why it matters

Beginners often panic when errors appear. A clear debugging prompt turns the error into the next lesson.

What to do

Copy the real error and ask for one simple fix.

Use this prompt:

Copy prompt
This is my error:
[paste error]

Expected:
[what should happen]

Fix it simply.

After the fix, ask:

Copy prompt
Explain what changed:
- which file
- what code
- why

Common mistakes

  • Pasting only "fix this".
  • Not sharing the full error.
  • Accepting a big rewrite when one small fix is enough.
  • Continuing without understanding the fix.
