One of the least-appreciated skills in programming is writing anti-frustrating error messages. A good error message should make it self-evident (a) what the user did, (b) what acceptable inputs are, and (c) how to fix the problem. Can determine love or hate for your library.

Next-step prediction is beautiful because it encourages, as a model gets extremely good, learning the underlying process that produced that data. That is, if a model can predict what comes next super well, it must be close to having discovered the "underlying truth" of its data.
