One of my biggest faux pas since joining the development world is leaving a log statement in a catch block which would occasionally print the word "bollocks" into the debug log.
Speaking with colleagues of that company this error still exists in some live deployments. -
geewhiz1018ySubrant: why the hell ever would the IE dev team decide to fatal error on a console.log when the browser inspector window is not open is beyond me. One errant console.log and BOOM, your site is a potato... There cannot be one good reason for this behavior, then again what am I saying I'm talking about IE 😆

Seethe4608y@geewhiz actually it isn't an error thrown on purpose, I believe it is due to the fact that IE doesn't append the console module to the window when it isn't present. It is pretty damn annoying though.

That is the or good thing about IE. Since IE testing usually comes towards the end of the project, it alerts you about the consoles you left in!
