How to catch a GNU/Linux user! 😎

Wanna catch an exception!

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

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

Was going through some old gadgets n found this fossil.

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

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

Well you do know how to catch my attention.

Please do rename the "master" branch to "Führer". The umlaut will probably catch a bunch of applications that aren't UTF-8 ready.

😂😂Wrap it all up in try/catch

Me: You girl are Exceptional, should I catch or throw you?

Her: You can try

I hope I catch something good today

Basically...

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

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

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?

😂😂😂

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

Void foo() {
try {
//Try something
} catch(exception e) {
foo();
}
}

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

try{
unprotectedSex();
}catch(STDs){
treat(STDs).asap();
}

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

try {
executeMainLoop();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
executeMainLoop();
}

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.

Try/Catch in the real world.

no try and catch in here 🙊

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

Why do Pokemon masters love JavaScript?

Because you gotta, try/catch them all

Haha. No laughs? Okay

*curls into a ball

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

Catch or catch not, there is no try.

How my code is some days...:/

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.

static void TryOut<T>(T newStuff)
{
try
{
self.Learn(newStuff);
}
catch (NotUnderstandingException)
{
// At some point, it will work, just call it again
TryOut(newStuff);
}
}

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

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

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

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");
}

imagine the new try/catch block

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

Today i used an empty catch block

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

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

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

try {
…..
} catch {
// this would never happen
}

and then it happened

fucking always print something when you catch exceptions

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!
}

do {
try
} catch {
// This block probably never gets called.
}

"BOYYYYY, WAS I WRONG"

Handle all exceptions with
catch(Exception ex)

Tty, Catch and what about throw ?? 😄😄

Holy fuck Microsoft I love what you are doing to Github. Where's the catch?

when you get an exception but the application doesnt crash

"I'll add the try catch later"

try{
#$$##&@;
}
catch(ex){
console.log('haha');
}

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
}
}
}

Just found a
catch {
// TODO: correctly handle exceptions
}

In production code.

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

When you catch a bug right before it hits production

try{

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

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...!

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 :)

Which is faster, hot or cold? Hot, because you can catch a cold.

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) {....}
}

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...

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

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.

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

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

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

read some rants about a devRant meetup?

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

When my try catch doesn't works

I have seen try/catch staments and rest api calls on a class constructor! OMG

try {
boolean isOk = meetTheGirl("Anna");
if (isOk) {
kiss();
goHomeAndProgram();
}
else {
cry();
goHomeAndProgram();
nextDay();
pickUpAGirl();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
//I don't know. My life is so empty
}

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

Just a

try {
adult()
} catch (e) {
backToBed()
}

Kind of day

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

Why? Oh Why????

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"); }

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

try
{ somethingVeryDangerous() }
catch { // No Op
}
finally { SaveFile() }

Yes, project is due in 7 days organize 1 hour project catch up meeting 2 times a day. Great.

By the way, I did catch my 2KiB ++s ;)

Have you worked on a project that you know will deliberately make people's lives miserable?

I know this is very broad, but you catch my drift.

mr robot, halt and catch fire, silicon valley, tvf pitchers.....

any suggestions for movies like pirates of silicon valley?

Bruh, catch everyone on LinkedIn posting about how much they love their company/team.

Translated, these read "Please don't sack me!"

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

That moment, when you found Pikachu but not able to catch him.

are there others, at least half as good as hcf?

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 {}

A project at work which is based on blindly copying other projects, empty catch clauses, a static class for global variables, and incompetence.

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

}

Haven't found any catch block that has anything other than:
// TODO Handle Exception

catch (Exception up){
throw up;
}

The try, catch block kills 50 percent more exceptions than the Infinity Gauntlet

Status of Internet Connection in our office located in Baku. Probably there is some guy downloading torrent in office. I will catch you today...

...and they said AWS never goes down. Well developers this is a good time to sleep or catch up on tv-series. Enjoy!

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

When you're in a rush to write a new feature but your compiler keeps nagging about not handling exceptions

Heard Java 7 provides catching multiple exceptions in single catch block ! hmm .. why need when I got this 😎😁

Small refactor. Which resulted in the confident removal of a comment that said:
// will this fail?

Ah. Like a breath of fresh air.

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

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

First week in a new company... Everything looks soooooooooo complicated, I've got no idea how I am going to catch up 😅

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

! Rant

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

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.

"If you don't return something in the catch block it will crash"

Isn't it interesting how a sentence can be true yet so infuriatingly wrong.

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;
}
}

Have you ever drifted so much that, while examining your code, you catch yourself reading the Loren ipsum text?
#lorem_ipsum #firstworldproblems

Try...
Catch!

You're a catch.

try{

}catch(Exception ex){
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

even in Visual Studio

Happy new year everyone.
For everyone yet to catch up to midnight, let this be a pre-new year post!

Why the fuck do i need to propose try-catch to an contractor, so he can fix his application, because its crashing if the input is non-conform to the specs?
Oh and before you ask. The application is a application that processes and sanitizes invoices.

try, try until you succeed. if you fail there is always catch....

*Sigh* Hope my work doesn't catch me Stalin

I'm coding like it's Mad Max and stackoverflow is the junkyard, I just hope it doesn't catch on fire. 🤡

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

Look what the screen tells you. Learn to read the errors and try to catch them.

Empty try-catches are so frustrating. At least log the damned error!

try {
m_tick++;
}
catch(...) {
m_tick = 0;
}

someone was very confused...
yes, m_tick is an unsigned builtin type

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.

try {

Your mother is so fat, not even a try/catch can catch her.

My boss has been working in web development for roughly 10 years now.

Today he learned about the existence of try/catch in JavaScript and asked me in which browsers it's
supported in 😢

OS can’t install the network driver because the installer can’t see the network card, the installer can’t see the network cars because the driver isn’t installed.

Learn modern Javascript, Python, data science, machine learning, to catch up and not be outdated

do {
try self.organised = 100;
} catch {
sleep(365*24*60*60);
}

I dislike people that always want to “catch-up via quick call”. Dude can’t you type a simple message?

I have a domain with mailgun and a catch all statment, I don't remember signing up for this but I was apparently mad

Thank God for npm install.. i can catch up on my sleep

When your IDE doesn`t catch up

Too many broken promises then I don't care anymore.
Javascript has ruined humanity. Catch me on my way out.

When you catch a fellow classmate checking out some devRant posts... Don't worry. Your Anonymity is safe with me

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

Meanwhile pinterest was throwing this error and is expecting the user to catch/handle the error! Lol

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

I'm having such a bad day, that an exception object passed on to my catch block itself caused a NullPointerException.

try catch lost me 4 hours of time today because someone put an empty catch block!

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

Real developers use try-catch instead of if-statements.

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?

What the Fuck is with recruiters saying you need more experience to get the job?! I'm applying so I can GET said experience! As a perfect metaphor: a college course should not have itself as a prerequisite or else nobody can take it!

It's a stupid catch-22 that I'm stuck in, from which there is no escape until I land that first job... 😒

Halt and Catch Fire is finally back!!

finally survived from an exception of catch block.

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

I have only two best friends
1. Console.log()
2. try/catch or then/catch

A couple of months ago I watched all 3 seasons of 'Halt and Catch Fire'. I thought it was excellent. If im honest I enjoyed it more than mr robot (and I loved that). Still not seen Silicon Valley though (it's gonna cost too much).

Any Halt and Catch Fire fans here?

We. want. stack traces!
When do we want them?
When we catch exceptions that we don’t know how to handle!

I just realized it'll take years for Java to catch the way C# implemented lambda expressions.

And really devrant? one rant per 2 hours?

Me: "ok let's have a look at this code I have to review ..."

try
{
* Some random unreadable overcomplicated shit code *
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// Useful for debug
}

😓
In which God forsaken crazy alternative universe, a "catch all" block that swallows the exception and does nothing else is even slightly close to the concept of "useful for debug"

try
{
doStuff();
}
catch{}

while (true) {
try {
writeCode()
} catch (UndefinedIsNotAFunction) {
try {
drinkCoffee()
} catch (OutOfCoffeeException) {

The only good thing about PHP is that the argument to catch blocks is called $ex which entertains my childish mind.
