WHY THIS EXISTS
An Azure engineer got tired of hearing:
“Azure is broken.”
when the error message said:
“You don't have permission.”
Cloud errors are ugly. They're wrapped three layers deep, padded with GUIDs, and the useful sentence is buried in the middle. But it's almost always there. RTFE exists to make cloud errors easier to read — and easier to explain to the person who sent them.
