help50 is a command line tool that makes an effort to translate some of the more arcane error messages that other tools, such as clang or valgrind, sometimes spit out. In this way, it serves as a "virtual TF" of sorts, hopefully helping nudge students in the right direction, so that they needn’t wait for a staff member at office hours when a little bit of translation of the error message is really all that’s needed to move on.
