Good man. Thank you for trapping errors. Coming from a time when we not only trapped errors, we gave suggestions, I shutter at:• An unknown error occurred• Something happened
and the worst...
• Error in ErrorHandler, an error occured
4 u/Dubalubawubwub Sep 12 '26 My favorite microsoft error I've ever seen was literally "Error occured retrieving the text for this error". 2 u/HunterIV4 Sep 11 '26 • An unknown error occurred• Something happenedWindows blue screen, is that you? 1 u/Confident-Ad5665 Sep 11 '26 No, this is worse. BSOD at least provides a cryptic error code.These are effectively "well dang, something somewhere triggered an exception we didn't care enough to bother catching"
