At customer site with my boss.
Boss: let's check this code which is not working
Me: ok (starting the debugging session)
I found this code, which was failing during the writing on disk for some reasons.
try

....
writer.writeline(some data);
....
}
catch(Exception ex)
{

Boss: ok it fails to write data but we need to, let's manage it like this:

writer.writeline(some data);

When you test your backend code thoroughly before pushing to production, but a fatal exception with the much larger production userbase causes one of your vital threads to die with a NullPointerException.

Porting Java Code to Kotlin manually, just to get a better understanding of the language. Best thing so far, NO more Assertive Exception Handling.

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...7 -

Pokemon exception handling is now my favourite antipattern. I can't believe I've never heard of it until today. I laughed way to hard in that lecture.5

No. Just no. The null pointer exception didn't come from my DB, it came from your Java code, so go away and fix it.2

1. Learn to read and understand the errors and exception messages. While writing code you're going to be facing exceptions most of the time and the real cause of them is under a lot of generic error messages. That and a lot of patience and perseverance.
2. You're going to face clients and bosses that ask you to do a temporary "workaround" even though you know there is a best way to solve a problem even if it takes more time and effort. Don't "crash" against their ideas, try to find a mid-term between the fast and easy work around and the best solution and leave it open to improve it in the future. I have met a lot of developers that let the frustration stops them to be creative just because the approved development is not what they wanted to do. -
Do you have a "I don't write bugs" colleague? Put your language equivalent of this around their code and wait.

A friend of mine once buried an exception deep in some code that any reasonable programmer shouldn't ever come across that said "you're the worst person I know"
A few days later when a guy in our project was working on his awful patchwork of a database mapping he managed to somehow actually hit this exception. We all got a good laugh out of it! -
So, a friend of mine just got a NullPointerException from his shitty Java code, and decided to fix the problem by catching the exception.
Great fix bro, real smooth..1 -

Null Pointer Exception
Null Pointer Exception,
you're in a class of your own.
I will try and catch you,
each instance you're thrown.
Null objects expel you,
because you are vile.
I dread that I'll c you,
when I attempt to compile.
Like the grim reaper,
you destroy lines of code.
And so to you,
I dedicate this ode.
You have no remorse
for those who won't test.
As a result,
I need to confess.
From time to time,
when there's no time waste.
I must rely
on cut and on paste.
Although we're acquainted,
I really must mention.
You're not my friend,
Null Pointer Exception. -
I think somewhere i read a quote from Gary Kasparov on his view on Chess.
He said that after certain point of mastering it, it becomes too much mental pain.
I think the same can be said about programming.
Devs really enjoy it, but sometimes, damn that Null pointer exception.1 -
Php:
hey, we added new function (random_bytes) to generate secure random strings, so you don’t need to do that manually anymore.
Documentation:
If it’s not possible to gather sufficient entropy, exception will be thrown.
So just in case, I still need to implement fallback method, well, because that stupid php designers team were fucking to lazy to provide it by default...
And that’s how programming in php is like, half the time you spend catching exceptions and extending native functions and other half implementing business logic.5 -
You know what I had to deal with

VirusTotal's API could do with a make over.
Though it is quite nice actually, you're able to provide them with a hash of a file and (provided they've scanned it) VT is able to tell you what up to 60 different virus scanners thinks about the file (and how many scanners that has an opinion about it). Now if there's an error, like the file not having been scanned or the hash being incomplete, it give you some JSON back where there will be an error message that tells you the error and an error code of 0.. wait wh
Although since it's an API they also need give us plebs whose only got access to an API key that limits us to 4 requests pr minutes. Naturally when you try to do another request within a minute of your limit the response you get is absolutely nothing what so ever. "" Naturally.
And of course the same response should be given when the API key you provide isn't valid. Who needs errors amiright?

"...is it possible to reboot the whole server with the exception of an instance?"1 -
If there's one thing I'd gladly kill with fire, then pass it over a steamy steamroller, then burn it a tank of hot fluoroantimonic acid, is every fucking Java library that returns null instead of throwing a meaningful exception.
Is it really that difficult for you to throw an exception anyway, then let ME figure out if I can ignore it or not?
Thanks to you, now I have to do super messy reflection things just to figure why did you return a null.

Found this one after 4 hours of debugging... Want to screw with other teams? Shove some UTF-8 BOM characters into JSON responses consumed by Node (and other frameworks as well). Watch as they scramble to find why JSON.parse() fails on seemingly nothing.

Got a call about production was going to fail. They thought it's the application server.
I'm the end it was bogus file mods which were scrambled by the backup tool.
Why we didn't find out earlier? Because the java application was coded like this:
-------
String content;
Try {
File bla = new File
content = ... Read operation
} catch (IoException | SecurityEx | RuntimeEx ex)
// nothing we can do here
}
doWork(content);
---------
Why the fuck do we have code reviews? Why not just log or throw a Runtime Exception? Argh... I thought it would be better in enterprise applications. Perhaps I should tell them to not just use pmd, also spotbugs and sonarqube. But the department for the build tools does not have enough employees. Dang.
Anyway. Earned some money for that.
Now it's 2018 and I still get money for the same kind of bugs as 2008.3 -

I really cannot see why there still isn't an API in Java where I can get an hashing algorithm without having to catch a checked exception.
Granted, Bouncy castle is a top library. But of you just have a small application with a single method wanting to hash a few values... It's so nuts and unnecessary.
So what do you do in the catch block? Either throw a checked exception (because without that hash your app won't work), or calculate a replacement. But if it were that easy, I wouldn't have needed a hash on the first place.
I really wonder what the java developers had in mind.
Same with IO exception. I'm beginning to like python more and more.

One of those debugging days where minutes feel like hours, and hours like days.
I had the bad luck of being asked to dive into a legacy project which was unmaintained for months, but of course it's still on prod. And very suddenly the urgent need arrises to change stuff.
Yet: the docker stack won't work. It builds fine but the stack crashes.
Long story short: some internal api URI were renamed and at some point one internal api started to always require an access token. Which we set for the stage, prod env yet somebody forgot to mention that to the devs of legacy-project.
That ain't too bad.
WHAT IS FUCKING BAD IS THAT YOUR SHITTY APP SWALLOWS THE ERROR MESSAGE!
I mean it's bad enough I have to `var_dump && die` your app since you never bothered to setup a xdebug that I could use out of the box, yet egregious fact that your app would catch a valid exception but transforms it into an "internal warning" is borderline insane!
It's ok to throw exceptions. It's ok to let your service die. That's how other will know what and where to fix it. (You may want to restrict the data visible to the outside, but that's a whole different conversation.) -
Ok so Sonar had a rule that you should not throw Exception. Rather you should always throw a specific types or catch them...
I don't understand this. So if the underlying function throws 10 different types of exceptions then the calling function should also declare it throws 10 different types rather than just Exception?
Assuming it isn't in a position to handle them?2 -
Saw another post about a receipt with an exception and it reminded me of this...
"Yes, I'm sitting at Table 0"
-
Everytime anywhere any programming language, the example for exception handling is always
a/0;
Why god why??1 -
VS Exception Display is full badfor me now.
I had a query problem in my code, and the only exception displayed by VS was one that don't help that much.
But there were two exceptions messages to display. Fortunatly the front-page displayed the full stack, else I'd have no clue of what was going on. -
The power to make clients trust my code.
It's a vicious circle; I code, client doesn't trust my code, I make changes as a result which break the code and.... Stack overflow exception -
Framework throwing null reference exception, support is in another timezone and the client needs a fix before close of business. Guess it's time to get out the decompiler.

So yeah, ErrorFailcatch (the error handler) two times because the app raises an exception (as expected) /BUT/ the error handler raises another exception, then the same error handler gets its exception and parses it correctly. How nice.
(Yeah, I was testing if the app did work on Python 3.4, but forgot that little point: that exception doesn't exists on it. First error was really expected.)

Never seen such narrative in javascript's error reporting.
A plugin that mixes javascript exception stacks with a carefully told narrative relating to idk lord of the rings or something. Now that would be fun to work with.

I get a simple exception because of a connection reset, can't catch it becouse it "happens in external code" urgh, fuck you .net core..

What's harder than debugging an uncaught exception in a view
If only debuggers like vs can attach to the server side logic of the views
