Definition
In coding, the angry red (or cryptic terminal) message your program screams when you've made a mistake—a breadcrumb trail left by the developer gods to help you debug, if you can decipher the jargon. Some programmers spend more time reading errors than actually writing code.
Example Usage
The 404 error means the server couldn't find the page you're looking for.
