if (error) { continue; }
try { operation(); } catch { // nice weather, eh? }
Starting with Java 21 (I think), they’ve introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:
try { operation(); } catch (Exception _) { // nice weather, eh? }
Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel
Same thing right?
If your joking yes, if your not Java and Java Script are seperate things.
Actually made this mistake in front of 20 people the other day. Guy at my job mentioned coding in java and I asked if he was doing web dev 🤦
Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?
He said “I’ve been closing in C# and Java for 2 years” and I asked, in front of everyone, “are you doing web dev?” And he just coldly said no
See this could have been fine if I didn’t double down and go “then what are you using java for… OH WAIT”
☑️ PR Approved
Thanks. I hate it.
with contextlib.suppress(BaseException): do_thing()
On Error Resume Next
Visual Basic is a beautiful language
On error goto 0
Was always syntacticly confusing for me.
I legitimately use this line in one of my scripts because range.find returns an error of the value is not found. The use case is taking a 2d matrix saved as an array, with data collected from multiple excel tabs and rearranging it for a CSV upload into Salesforce. The initial array contains values that the rest of the data does not have, so when I search for a non existent value, I can skip the error.
Of course vba COULD just implement try/catch statements and that’d be so much cleaner, but alas.
If I can’t see it, is it really there?
If it wanted to get my attention it should have been an error
If it works, it works
I would add: until it doesn’t.
This is why:
“It ain’t stupid if it works.”
is fundamentally incorrect.
Sometimes it’s better to hope while closing eyes
Eh it’s Javascript. Anything goes
this is fucking gold
Yeah, array.length is mutable in javascript. I’m surprised it caught on.
If i can just suppress the warnings which need to be fixed till morning in my buggy code, anything goes!
Warnings are for ignorings :3
Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.
Meanwhile in another universe one of my biggest win was to introduce this line in our PR validation pipeline.
eslint . --max-warnings 0
Works so well, and soothes the warning annoyance brain, and keeps warnings from eventually becoming errors.
In a codebase with a lot of warnings is even better for me to add a disable comments for all the existing warning and then not allow any new one in.
And then each time a part of the code needs to be touched the existing warning there should be solved too.
Several times I’ve set the max warnings to whatever the current warning count is, and then decreased that over time.
Actually fixing warnings is for noobs
if they mattered they’d be errors I’m sure
That’s when you do CTRL+C, CTRL+V
edit: works better when used together with
StackOverflow.comment.enabled = false;

I don’t get it. This isn’t funny. I wouldn’t approve it in merge request. Most wouldn’t.
Trying to hide problems and incompetence is the joke. A lot of people don’t want problems solved, they just don’t want to see them, and will take the easy route. If you just want that, this is the easy route.
Incompetent? Absolutely, that’s the joke.
