Searched an error message and the top result was my own unanswered question from last year
same error, same library, same stack trace. there I was, one year younger, asking strangers for help with exactly this. zero answers. one upvote, which I now strongly suspect was also me. the worst part is I clearly fixed it back then, because that project shipped. I just never went back to post how. no notes, no comment in the code, nothing. I have been betrayed by the one developer who knew everything I know. anyway, fixed it again, and this time I answered my own question. for the next version of me.

that's so much worse. at least mine was only unhelpful by omission
Answering your own question is the most senior thing in this post. Future you is a stakeholder and past you ignored the requirements.
