the Generic Model Organism Database project or GMOD is a collection of open source software tools for managing, visualising, storing, and disseminating genetic and genomic data.

I am an anxious person. So error messages always makes my heart beat faster. Hopefully, following the Pareto Principle, 80% of error messages are mild while 20% are the really tough one. The point is to solve the first kind as quickly as possible and effortless. To do so, allow the user to solve the issue by himself with clear messages and hints (in the case of errors related to input files or parameters). Clear presentation of the context and precise localization of the error in the code will save a lot of useless and tedious work to the developer. The time spared on the easy errors just by having better messages, then can be reallocated to the second kind of errors, the troublemakers.

I was fortunate to follow the course of Sven Warris about software tools to integrate genAI into your own work and applications. The course is aimed at data scientists and bioinformaticians.
