Had an internet/network outage and the web site started logging thousands of errors and I see they purposely created a custom exception class just to avoid/get around our standard logging+data gathering (on SqlExceptions, we gather+log all the necessary details to Splunk so our DBAs can troubleshoot the problem).

If we didn't already know what the problem was, WTF would anyone do with 'There was a SQL exception, Query'? OK, what was the exception? A timeout? A syntax error? Value out of range? What was the target server? Which database? Our web developers live in a different world. I don't understand em.

    Many times.... Missing communication and explanation.

    Devs don't know. Devs do dumb things as "the backend guys ignore us and we have noooo way of doing stuff properly".

    Yeah. The logging is dumb. But probably someone was very proud that he had now a reason to say "Backend teams fault".
