The infantilization of error messages annoys me to no end. Sure Error: exception FF02345A0 in module flarghbhgy.py is not immediately helpful, but at least it allows me to search for a solution or a cause. Recently though, a frighteningly large portion of software developers decided for some reason that Oopsie poopsie, someone made a boo boo is a better error message, especially if it's accompanied by a cute whimsical image of a kitten or some shit...
