I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
I've heard a few great talks on the topic of improving error messages at RubyConf last year and certainly hope that's the future.
I've watched quite a few people go through the process of learning to code (myself included) and I believe one of the biggest "switches" that need to click is learning how to read error messages instead of freaking out when they come up.
Having awesome, clear, and productive error messages will go a long way towards lowering the barriers to entry allowing many more people to learn how to code.
