The state of error handling in general is woeful, they do anything to avoid admitting they're at fault so the negative screenshots don't end up on social media.

Blame the user or just leave them at an infinite spinning circle of death.

I check the network tab and find the backend is actually returning a reasonable error but the frontend just hides it.

Most recent one was a form saying my email was already in use, when the actual backend error returned was that the password was too long.
