It seems you're advocating for error messages which I think many would agree with, but the comment you're responding to was proposing that error codes have no place being shown to users. I would generally agree with hiding codes. They're generally meaningless and really intended for devs or automation.

how are users going to write a reasonable bug report, or level up to developing, if they don't have access to the error code
