Thanks for summarising.

I wish your anus well.

Am I out of the loop?

Why don't people like Pizzacake?

Not really. Exceptions are a controlled way of indicating something went wrong in an application.

The only point where you wouldn't know about the possibility of one is when you don't know enough about the language features you're using or when you use a badly documented library or framework.

Yeah, I had a similar case with some authentication middleware I used that was part of a library.

It would always throw an exception when a user wasn't authenticated instead of just giving me some flag I could check.

Wouldn't have done it that way, but it was okay for an API controller.

Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.

The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.

Depends on who you think the people are.

CTOs, technical team leads and such can make those decisions. And devs can also suggest migrating to simpler solutions.

If a tech giant like Amazon can do it like they did with Prime Video, I don't think it's impossible other companies can do so too.

I'd have recommended it as well.

Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.

You can have the best tool in the world and still find people just hitting their own face with it.

Meme is funny, but that exception used as flow control hurts.

Would you still love me if I were a millipede? 🥺👉👈

I'm afraid that's a hard pass, love.
