Do you have the email address of this devil guy? I'd like to chat.

Hi this is the devil guy. Just catch and swallow all exceptions and you're golden.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 18 points 7 months ago

Sorry, I don't swallow on the first date.

Ah, so you are the guy who created "On Error Resume Next" in Visual Basic and populated it in the beginning of every function in my company's code! I hate you!

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 11 points 7 months ago

Yes. I am become tech debt, the devourer of mandays.

“On Error Resume Next” in Visual Basic

This is always presented as the worst thing about Visual Basic, which is incorrect. The worst thing was "On Error Resume" which just re-executed the line that caused the error in the first place.
