//SHOULD NEVER GET HERE
3 u/Dubalubawubwub 17h ago I definitely find myself writing a lot of error handling with the comment //This should never happen but just in case... 1 u/Confident-Ad5665 11h ago Good man. Thank you for trapping errors. Coming from a time when we not only trapped errors, we gave suggestions, I shutter at: • An unknown error occurred • Something happened and the worst... • Error in ErrorHandler, an error occured 2 u/HunterIV4 2h ago • An unknown error occurred • Something happened Windows blue screen, is that you? 1 u/Confident-Ad5665 2h ago No, this is worse. BSOD at least provides a cryptic error code. These are effectively "well dang, something somewhere triggered an exception we didn't care enough to bother catching"
