Core Principles
- Fail Fast, Fail Loudly - Catch errors early, make them visible
- Context is King - Include relevant information in error messages
- Never Swallow Errors - Always log, re-throw, or handle explicitly
- User-Friendly Messages - Show generic messages to users, log details server-side
- Typed Errors - Use custom error classes for different failure types
