    I remember when I was working with .NET and I saw some web service code and I saw there was no try catches. They didn’t have a global catch in the asax either or anything. I just wrapped each call into a try catch and log.

    I got the same treatment where my manager wanted to know what happened with the increase in errors. I told him what I did. My manager got another developer to go through my commits regardless. I was a bit upset at the lack of trust.

      A manager that can’t read a simple try catch commit? Why am I surprised.

      I joined a team years ago where everyone would catch exceptions then throw a different exception in the catch, swallowing the original. Sometimes these were nested many layers. Troubleshooting was a nightmare.

      I spent a week deleting all of them and told everybody that “try” was now a forbidden word outside of entry points.

    The second panel would be “No, I enabled error reporting. Those errors belong to just you.”

    “My project” doesn’t exist in any team. It’s everyone’s project. A manager needs to have a long conversation with Pink Pants.

    If you build your project at anything but highest error level, clang -Wall etc., you’re letting errors in, relying at best on coincidence to work the way you think it does.

    Commit it and don’t revert it!

    I would normally put an if-statement before that to verify if IGNORANCE still equals BLISS
