I watched my classmates give up on coding because of errors they didn't understand. So I built something.
I'm 17 years old and still in school. Last semester we had a group project that required everyone to set up a development environment. Most of my classmates had never touched a terminal before. What happened next was predictable in plainsight, errors everywhere. PATH not found. Module not installed. Python not recognized. Errors that would take an experienced developer 10 seconds to fix, but to a complete beginner look like the computer is broken beyond repair. Our teacher had to stay after class every single day just to help people get unstuck. The class time wasn't enough. People were giving up before they even wrote a single line of actual code. That stuck with me. The problem isn't that the errors are hard to fix. Most setup errors have a one-command solution. The problem is that beginners don't know what the error is telling them, don't know what to Google, and don't know if they're about to make things worse by trying something random. So I built DevDoctor. You drop a screenshot
