# Read the Trace LLMs love to see "TypeError" and generate a generic fix without reading the trace. Don't. - Find the **deepest frame in YOUR code** — not the library frame at the top. That's where the bad value entered. - Read the actual values: what was null/undefined/wrong-type, and where it came from. - Trace it one level up: why was that value bad? The root is usually 1-2 frames above the throw. - Reproduce with that exact input before fixing. A TypeError can mean a hundred things. The trace tells you which one — read all of it, including the "caused by".
