Nov 30, 2022 at 17:55	comment	added	Zach Young		Is `Object.setPrototypeOf(this, new.target.prototype)` really necessary? I was following along with Corman's answer to this Q, which doesn't have the `Object.setProto...` line, and my custom error is both an instance of itself (`err1 instanceOf MyError`) and its super (`err1 instanceOf Error`).
Sep 21, 2022 at 8:39	comment	added	NerdyDeeds		THANK you! `Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor)`! Duh, now I look at it, but that was eluding me for hours. Good gods I feel like I've just spent 45 minutes reading a dozen+ pedantically- masturbatory code treatises before finally getting here. Well done! Also, thanks for chiming in years after the fact, too (this is not sarcasm; I really DO appreciate it, lol). Most people see an old question with a buncha answers and brush on past. Your 2 cents were a price I'd happily have paid at twice the cost.
