<div dir="ltr">This actually bugs this shit out of me, especially when I was dealing with some Java developers trying to stress test their software and track down the source of any failures. Hearing "Oh, that stack trace is normal" was irritating as hell because it made determining the source of an issue very, very difficult. If you have a known exception, FFS handle it! You have the tools! It's not like it's difficult, it just takes time and attention to detail. . . . and a modicum of care about the ultimate consumers of your software (which, sadly, seems to be low on many developers' priorities).</div>
