Discussion on: Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's forgivable to cause a runtime exception.

For the longest time, my issue with catching anything ever was silent failures, which I experienced in other people's code.
But now, I just:

• match errors I want to handle very strictly by message or my custom constructor
• wrap native errors in my own semantic error types
• rethrow anything that didn't match
• use framework error boundaries
• rethrow in prod after reporting

And life is good.
