P14 is correct. Writing actionable, state-aware error messages is a superpower.
“P14 offered three strategies for making deployed systems more legible: 1) leave clues in the code and output, 2) tell a
coherent story with telemetry, logs, and dashboards, and 3) write better error messages.“

This is also accurate. Code is created in response to problem understanding. Skipping the understanding phase while accelerating the execution phase is going to create disproportionate downstream impacts.
“Our theory explains why tools intended to improve productivity may paradoxically shift the burden toward more
mentally-taxing, cognitively fatiguing, and potentially frustrating work. In terms of Kahneman’s model, if developers
generate the code faster but then spend more time troubleshooting, the result is a non-linear trade-off of attentional
resource consumption.“
