Yep, sadly I've been exposed to a few such codebases before. I certainly learned a lot about how NOT to design a project.
You've been at it longer than I have, but I've already had coworkers look at me like I'm a wizard for decoding their error message. You do get a feel for where the important parts of the error actually are over time. So much scrolling though...
Yes, after decades of scanning large pages of text - code, errors, logs, search results, etc - a programmers ability to apply pattern recognition to screens of letters can be truly remarkable.
Yes, I have my share of coworkers asking me when they run into problems, too. They even ask me when they have Windows problems. And I don't do Windows - I do Linux and embedded systems.
