Once had a missing semi colon at the end of a c header file. The compiler kept complaining about the c file and never mentioned the header. Not all errors lead you to the right place.
Though most of the time people just don’t read them. The number of problems I have solve for people by just copy pasting the error they gave me back to them…
Also if you are looking for a replacement for find that is not a full tui then take a look at fd which works more like what the author expected from the find commad -
fd <pattern>
.
