What's the problem with having to _think_ for 10 minutes? If you get through that experience it will take you only 9 minutes when you have to do it again. I still can't understand why people complain when they have to use their brains.
This is not a helpful position to take, and to be honest I find it offensive.
My job is researching AI algorithms, I consider myself to "use my brains" all day, every day, trying to design new and interesting algorithms to make progress in solving some really hard AI problems.
However, I don't have infinite brain power, and 10 minutes spent decoding huge TMP error messages is 10 minutes I didn't spend solving them problems I actually care about solving.
I don't see why your job has anything to do with the fact that since you're using C++ you're going to have to learn the error messages anyway and debug errors anyway in case your program is broken? Cheers -- Dean Michael Berris http://goo.gl/CKCJX
