What the Fastly outage can teach us about writing error messages
I've had more than one intern or young engineer that I've had to teach to resist the urge to put witty comments and jokes in project docs, comments, or errors.  Especially in error messages or things that can be exposed to users/customers.  Even if it's an error you think only the dev team will see, you never know if it will make its way out to audiences you didn't intend.  Somehow I doubt people faced with this error message really were amused by the reference to the old Amiga OS errors....
