    You know at least it printed an error. I hate when things silently swallow errors.

    I’m looking at you, Python programmers:

    try:
       <100 lines of nonsense>
    except:
       pass

      I am in the process of fixing a bug at work where pretty much every method has a try(Exception e){…}catch{LOGGER.error(…)}. The method calling my team’s method needs to know when an interrupted exception is thrown. So far I have fixed this in 10 different methods, and we keep finding more. It’s like playing whack-a-mole.
