How to catch a GNU/Linux user! 😎

Wanna catch an exception!

They see me coding,
They hating,
Reviewing and tryna catch me writing dirty.

You know you've made it when you can quickly catch programming crap in other website images.

This site promoted "Top 10 things that make you a good programmer."

Was going through some old gadgets n found this fossil.

Give me the fucken code Blackberry and I'll catch it for you.

When you finally catch the person that's been writing bad code all the time

beers with @linuxxx again. good to catch up!

😂😂Wrap it all up in try/catch

Well you do know how to catch my attention.

except Exception as e
pass

This is how I learned try-catch....

Error handling done properly.

When you catch Facebook Devs testing in prod (beta app though)

She: We've been together for so long and why are you never romantic??
Me: What do you mean? I can say I Love You in 10 different languages!
She: Awww... Really ?!?
Me:
cout<<"I Love You!";
printf("I Love You!);
System.out.println("I Love You!");
print "I Love You!"
echo "I Love You!";
say I Love You
puts "I Love You!

Oh also empty catch blocks

try catch

encapsulating bug with try-catch

Basically...

😂😂😂

Boss: Nice job with that bug, when the erp freezes magically start working after few seconds

try{
//Something
}catch(Exception $e){
system('sudo reboot');
}

Fuckin hell!!

Code works everywhere except at one client. Ok, I check logs & see something missing.. I go check the code that handles excel files.. try catch and do nothing.. great.. :/ ok let's log this shit to see what is not ok...
Insert logs, build, update, run.. now it freakin works o.O

Whilst I was gaming this morning, I found A person with the username 'NullPointerException' so I imediatly typed into the chat
"catch(NullPointerException e){}"

Police officer McDucky reporting for duty. Hope we catch a lot of pesky bugs and complete projects.

Sorry, but the app had to stay running. It was just a minor exception anyway.

When I saw this in production I cried a little...

Last week I almost lost my belief in everything..

A friend of minde, he's currently learning programming (Delphi 😂) in some kind of university, just told me:
"Hey, why do you spend so much time caring about error handling? I just surround all my programs with one try catch block and I never have to think about errors!"

Ehm. No statement needed, right?

We should totally be able to use try/ catch irl, especially in social situations

try{
riskyText();
} catch (InappropriateTextError e) {
abort();
}

Comment your best developer pickup line...

here's mine...

I think you're exceptional, I can try & catch you.

Fuck you java for forcing me to catch an exception which will never occur -.-

If Stack Overflow really crashed it would never be fixed since the devs would be stuck refreshing Stack Overflow forever.

It's Friday and my boss let us off work early...

So imma just chill and try to catch the sun

no try and catch in here 🙊

static void TryOut<T>(T newStuff)

self.Learn(newStuff);
}
catch (NotUnderstandingException)
{
// At some point, it will work, just call it again
TryOut(newStuff);
}
}

Try/Catch in the real world.

Should I fix this properly or just wrap it in a try/catch? hmmm

Working on code that we took from other devices company. We found this brilliant thing in one of their function (check catch blok)

Me annoying our dev:

Me: “Is your npm watch running?”

Him: “Yes!”

Me: “You better go catch it then... 🤣”

Him: “....”

I think we gatta let him go :(

Catch or catch not, there is no try.

How my code is some days...:/

Why do Pokemon masters love JavaScript?

Because you gotta, try/catch them all

Haha. No laughs? Okay

*curls into a ball

What if all that was that easy !! :-P

As a Java developer, reasons to kill other programmers:

- static mutable variables
- WRITING to static mutable variables
- API call with Framework X didn't work. Add Framework Y along with X and try that. Wrap X in try/catch statement. Catch block fires framework Y.
- six, seven, ten levels of nested code. Zero thought put in organization
- 6K LOC Java files
- spring (singleton? Maybe) object assigning values in static mutable (see pt.1)
- a couple of unit tests in code base that no longer work. Zero unit tests in new code
- unit testing disabled in CI pipeline
- empty catch blocks
- pass mutable data between threads. Modify in various places concurrently.

Guess he used try/catch

import java.util.Exception;
try {
public class A {
public static void main(String args[]) {
new Exception();
}
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Got you BITCH");
}

When you don't care anymore...

imagine the new try/catch block

try
..
catch
...
finally
....
please
...
how dare you?! (Application.Exit())

Today i used an empty catch block

I still remember when I first started using try/catches, what a wonderful day. And when I learnt to not use it for all... An even better day...

And then there is the other guy, encapsulating his entire code on one giant try/catch to suppress all thrown errors, instead of trying to deal with them.

Just found this piece of code from one of my coworkers:

restMethod() {
try {
// some complicated logic
} catch (WebApplicationException e) {
throw e;
}
}

Why?!

And btw: Hi fellow devRant ppl! 👋

A Pidgey landed on my devRant stress ball...

They see me coding
They testing
The Try and Catch blocks show me coding dirty
Show me coding dirty ...

My programs never crash. I wrap my main functions in a try catch, and silently ignore exceptions.

Catch a sysadmin's laptop unguarded. Put fakeupdate.net on windows 10. I never saw so much pain on a man's face. Priceless!

do {

"BOYYYYY, WAS I WRONG"

Currently travelling.
Heh, yeah right. What's the catch

try {

Handle all exceptions with
catch(Exception ex)

Had some beers with linuxxx once again. Good to catch up with a fellow devRanter! It's been too long, and I missed the tech talk.

try {
// code that will someday
// throw an exception. Today is
// not that day.
}
catch(Exception ex) {
// The big day has arrived! BUT...
// I'm a heartless bastard who
// does not log errors.
// Good luck finding me!
}

I'm planning on making a band called Bar Fighters and will play songs like Integer Or Long, The Renderer, Test of U nit, Learn to Try ( catch )

Tty, Catch and what about throw ?? 😄😄

Dilbert or C++.....

Currently Dilbert is winning.... but need to catch up on 1.5 months of strips...

Maybe i should just stop here and finish the rest after...

try {
RiskyFunction()
//a gazillion lines more
}
catch() {}

//Wow! The app is not breaking anymore!

found this in our codebase today

try {
//do something
} catch () {
try {
//do something else
} catch () {
try {
//do something else else... this goes on 4-5 levels deep
} catch () {
//log... couldn't do
}
}
}

Hmmm... Grow a Duck. Could this catch on? 😂

try{

}catch(Exception e){
//do nothing
}

By someone who reviewed my code. "Put a null check in the catch block for the exception....cuz some times exception itself might be null..."
And by that he/she means,

catch (Exception e){
if (e != null) {....}
}

When you catch a bug right before it hits production

Catch flight in 2 hours for final interview at major brand. Guess I've finally made it to major league.

Got a busy day today so last night I went to bed an hour early to catch up on sleep... Woke up an hour earlier this morning.

Nothing like a SQL Script failing and fucking up an important Database right before my christmas vacation...

Today,I found this gem:

static function getConfig(){
$cacheKey = 'foobar';

try {
$config = $this->repository->getConfig();

$this->cache->set($cacheKey, $config);
}
catch(Exception $e){
try{
$config = $this->repository->getConfig();

$this->cache->set($cacheKey, $config);
}
catch(Exception $e){}
}
}

I don't want to live on this planet anymore...!

Next months will be good!

TIL: C# has a "Catch When" syntax to help you filter exceptions. It already allows you to filter by Exception type, but this is news to me since it allows for finer filtering like:

try
{
//Shit code that will throw an exceptions more than Hillary's tantrums about the elections
}
catch (ExceptionType ex) when (ex.ErrorCode = "0x696666")
{
//Log this fuck up
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//More logs
}
finally
{
//Run code that doesn't depend on the successful execution of prev code
}

I love C# and use it every single day, but this "When" keyword in Try...Catch...Finally blocks is new to me and will be interesting to start using it now :)

Hey... to somebody reading this, most likely.

The problem, is that you put if($var = 'something')
You need ==, not =.
Php doesn't tell you that though. It'll just change the var to 'something'

That's why you're getting that really obscure, doesn't make any sense error.

You're welcome.

It's official:
Lunch break == catch up on devRant

God damnit!
i recently inspected the c# sourcecode of a webservice, our webservice develop references to.

As i discovered a particular function in it, my face went instantly pale.

This golden-hammer function consists of ~2000 lines of code.
In the first line there is "try {".
On the last lines is "catch (Exception e) { throw new SomethingWentWrongException ("special function"); }"

At least, he "tried" xD

I don't want to develop on that planet anymore...

read some rants about a devRant meetup?

how do I know they are not from my manager trying to catch me rant-handed?

Using pokemon exeption handling on some very important and sensitive back end stuff to meet a deadline.

try {
// something
} catch (SomeException e) {
}

Swallowed Exception.. what the fuck is wrong with you?! And I see this shit in a lot of places in the code!

So this is how it feels like to miss devrant, have a lot of catch up to do now!

When people ask me:
- Why doesn't it work?
I catch myself often responding like this:
- How exactly it doesn't work?

Actual production code:
try{
[code]
try{
[code]
}catch(Exception ex){
[code]
}
}catch(Exception ex){
[code]
}
Double blasphemy!

When my try catch doesn't works

String nullabity check duel...
null, isEmpty(), "", " ", '', ' ', " null", boolean, NaN, undefined, isNullOrEmpty and finally try-catch

Try/Catch doesn't fix stupidty! OR BAD CODE!

try{

}catch(Exception whoCares){

} catch (Exception e) {
//I don't know. My life is so empty
}

Roses are red
Exceptions are blue
Empty catch blocks are going to hurt you!

The legit mod of try-catch! :P

Worried about your application crashing? I have a fix. through the entire thing in a try/catch and catch Exception. 😁😁

GodDAMN, C# 7.0 is so ridiculously feature packed. I can pattern-match inside a predicate on an exception filter. Want to catch ONLY NHibernate's exceptions caused by a SQL timeout? Boom:

catch (GenericADOException adoEx) when (adoEx.InnerException is SqlException sqlEx && sqlEx.Number == -2) { return Failure("timeout"); }

...
catch (Exception)
{
throw new Exception();
}
finally
{
//CloseConnection();
}

Why? Oh Why????

Previous intern had a bad habit of living empty catch blocks...
It's like he had some mommy issues.
It's like handing an empty first aid box to guy.
"You know what I am gonna do, leave empty catch every where just to fuck with the next guy...Ha...Ha..."

catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print(e.Message);
}

Like... everywhere...

So I was just watching a show with subs and see this line:

"So just try and catch me!"

The first thought that came to mind was:

try {}
catch {}

Small refactor. Which resulted in the confident removal of a comment that said:

Ah. Like a breath of fresh air.

I'm freaking out. The snack bar is shown in every non iOS device...
On iOS the error never get caught 😖 and the try/catch won't work too.

there's a special place for people who write empty catch blocks INTENTIONALLY ..

try{

... do something that may produce NPE;

} catch {Exception fuckYou){

// go die in a fire

Am currently at a jamboree where one kid said he was really good at maths. Then another younger kid asked him what 12 + 12. The first kid then said 24 to which the second kid laughed and said "twelvetwelve". Then the small kid promptly ran away yelling "catch me catch me".

They really do say the darnest things, but concatenation was unexpected :v

Heard Java 7 provides catching multiple exceptions in single catch block ! hmm .. why need when I got this 😎😁
try {
// do something...
} catch (Exception e){
//log it ..
}

Any Halt and Catch Fire fans here? Can't wait till Season 3!

Apple iPhone batteries catch on fire yesterday and today at two different Apple Stores

The Halt and Catch Fire writers and tech experts must have lived those days. Totally nailed it to the finest detail. I am impressed. Show me a 10mg (how will I ever fill it up) Bernoulli platter 😀
Great series but warning it is not a comedy like Silicon. Very different but amazing how some things are same as today in concept.

I spend so much time debugging because the previous developer has empty catch blocks everywhere in the code base.

Life will be much easier if we can use "try and catch" while doing something. Yes, just like programming language.

try{
// some code
}catch(Exception ex){
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

even in Visual Studio

Try...
Catch!

When your IDE doesn`t catch up

yes, m_tick is an unsigned builtin type

Quick tip for those of you struggling with a error or bug you can't fix.
But that doesn't effect functionality.
Just wrap the code inside a try catch block and don't do anything inside the catch 😂😂. Saved me a lot of hours in my projects.

Nah I'm joking. Don't ever do this

class Ex extends Slut {
Boy[] boyfriend;
Ex(){
boyfriend = new Boy[2];
boyfriend [0] = new Me();
try{
boyfriend [1] = new Boy();
} catch(HeFoundOut e) {
boyfriend [0] = null;
}
}

Found this comment before a try/catch block in some code I was reviewing... seems like I might have to rewrite the whole thing

No error handling at all, not even a single try catch. Program crashes when the wind changes direction. Previous developer developed his test plan around his bugs. 😭

I want catch previous developer and cut his finger off. If you don't know hot the job should be done don't do that job.

I take a break. Relax. Watch Anime, catch up with friends and sleep like a Koala. 😀✌️

the person who wrote the code I'm maintaining had just learned try {}catch {} seriously, the guy preferred using try catch over ifs...

Halt and Catch Fire is having another great season. Lived those days and it is so true. CompuServe, Compaq, Commodore, 5 1/4", Tandy 1000, Byte Mag, Atari, The Well... The tech you see is really 1985ish. Attention to detail is appreciated by long time technologists.

H&CF is about building a tech business and much applies to today's startups. That two brilliant tech women are leading the charge adds to it. All the characters are great Cameron, Gordon, Donna, the devs at Mutiny and Joe channeling Jobs (in my opinion) is spot on.

Any H&CF fans have an opinion?

Tests on master fail in my local dev environment but not in Jenkins. HTTPretty won't catch calls to one API but it will catch API calls to another service, and catches both in tests run on other machines, just not mine. Tests which the team validated are failing locally and I'm officially confused. Turned off VPN, too, nothing.

People are saying to improve you need to ask questions. In case you don't have friends that are in IT, who do you aks questions? Those silly ones that google can't answer? I don't want to go to SO, that place is toxic, and asking a dumb question on devrant feels like a waste of peoples time as well. Is there a platform for alone-ish developers to ask more experienced devs questions? without being shamed to death?

At first if you don't succeed, catch catch again.

So this is my IT teacher, he should teach us how to build good code, reliable...

Who all are in NYC? Let's catch up someday after work! What about devRant meetup?

But if stuff is 'free' as you say you have, then make it available free!

Every time i think 'hey, this is actually relevant to my interests, let me read up more on that...' i hit the fucking 'insert your email for a free download'
