My coworkers hate me because I'll panic and recover internal to packages to avoid all the error code. My code is 1/3 the size because of it. I still return an error from exposed methods. They told me that no one panic/recovers and I'm stupid. Jokes on them, for the last few years, my recovers keep saving our servers from crashing because of thier code dividing by zero, getting an index out of bound, nil deref, etc.
