That's fucking hilarious
Still not as excellent as On Error Resume Next
Imagine the sheer ~~idiocy~~ genius required to add a language feature where, if an error occurred, the handling method is to just pretend that line of code never existed and continue onto the next line.
VBA is truly the language of savants.
PowerShell does that by default, and it's my least favorite feature in my most used language.
$ErrorActionPreference = Stop
At the start of almost every script.
Like putting electrical tape over your check engine light.
Ship it.
I wrap every line of code in a try catch block, even my try catch blocks are in try catch blocks just in case the first accidentally drops it after catching it
Yo dawg, I heard you like try-catch blocks
Average node bug solving
process.on('uncaughtException', console.error)
Push it to prod & see the world burns around you
I came across a stack overflow recently about how to do something in a jasmine unit test. Someone gave a solution of “I just changed the test to xit(“… and now there are no errors!”
It works on their machine though!
Donald Trump does coding.
