There’s plenty of errors that aren’t able to be handled. But yes I agree most developers don’t understand exceptions. They seem to be scared of them tbh and there’s lots of bad advice floating around about them. Like “exceptions should be exceptional” or “don’t use exceptions for control flow”. I am beginning to see a culture shift as the old guard dies out though.
