Error handling Memes

Try → Catch → Stack Overflow

19 days ago 170.8K views 0 shares

The real exception handling workflow no instructor will teach you! Instead of actually handling errors properly, this genius just copies the error message, builds a StackOverflow URL with it, and automatically opens a browser tab. It's basically outsourcing your problem-solving to random internet strangers who'll either solve your issue or mock your coding skills into oblivion. The modern developer's prayer: "Dear StackOverflow gods, please let someone have encountered this obscure error before me."

$Just Ignore And Try Again Later ¯\_(ツ)_/¯$

The code equivalent of sweeping dust under the rug! That comment in the catch block is basically every developer at 4:59 PM on a Friday. "Oh, an exception? I'll just leave a cute little shrug emoticon and a comment promising to fix it 'later' (read: never). Because who needs proper error handling when you can just pretend the problem doesn't exist? Future You will totally appreciate this brilliant strategy when production crashes at 2 AM!

When JavaScript Math Breaks The Grocery Store

OH. MY. GOD. The ultimate validation nightmare just slapped us across the face! Someone literally crossed out "NaN" on a price tag and wrote "6.89" instead. This is EXACTLY what happens when your JavaScript tries to do math and has an existential crisis! 💀 The poor cashier was probably like "What in the floating-point catastrophe is THIS?!" and just manually fixed it with the determination of someone who's had ENOUGH of your undefined numerical shenanigans. Honestly, it's the most aggressive hotfix I've ever seen in production. No pull request, no code review—just a pen and PURE RAGE.

Finally A Real-World Example Of Why Null Is Scarier Than 0

BEHOLD! The most DEVASTATING visual representation of null vs. zero in programming history! On the left, a toilet paper roll with ZERO paper left - inconvenient? Sure. But on the right? ABSOLUTE CHAOS! The roll is NULL - it doesn't even EXIST! You're sitting there, pants around ankles, desperately reaching for something that ISN'T EVEN THERE! This is EXACTLY what happens when your code tries to access a null reference - complete and utter existential panic! At least with zero you know you're screwed... with null, you don't even get THAT courtesy! 💀

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of ordering pizza as a developer! Papa John's out here with their "{NAME}" and "{userEmail}" placeholders just raw-dogging it in production! 😱 The eternal struggle between hunger and witnessing someone's template variables that never got replaced. Meanwhile that little loading spinner is probably making a desperate API call to nowhere because SOMEONE FORGOT TO VALIDATE THE FORM DATA. The pizza might arrive, but my faith in their codebase certainly won't. And don't get me started on "Loading pick up info..." – honey, you can't pick up what your variables couldn't put down! 💅

That feeling when your error handling code has more error handling than your actual code. This masterpiece has it all - double-checking if modified_by is None (twice!), handling singular vs plural "record" vs "records", and enough nested conditionals to make your code reviewer contemplate a career change. The cherry on top? Converting IDs to integers with a try-except block that can throw yet another error. It's not spaghetti code, it's a gourmet pasta experience with extra exception sauce!

I've Never Seen This Crash Before - This Is Fantastic

When your game crashes so spectacularly that even the error message becomes entertainment. Nothing brings developers and gamers together quite like that special moment when someone says "I've never seen this crash. This is fantastic." The irony of celebrating software failure is the purest form of developer Stockholm syndrome. We've all been there—admiring a particularly creative way our code decided to implode, like a chef complimenting another restaurant's unique approach to food poisoning.

Rest My Ass: When 200 OK Is Anything But OK

The ultimate API gaslighting experience! Your request gets a perfect HTTP 200 OK status code, signaling all is well in the universe. Then the response body hits you with {"error": true} . It's like your server saying "Yes, I received your request perfectly! Also, everything is on fire." The digital equivalent of someone nodding enthusiastically while whispering "absolutely not." REST APIs that can't even be honest about their emotional state deserve their own special circle in developer hell.

The top panel shows a man pointing a gun with the caption "A null pointer exception in production." This is basically the coding equivalent of your app suddenly committing suicide in front of users. The bottom panel shows someone wrapped in a protective cocoon labeled "Me, wrapping the entire function in a giant try...catch block." It's the programming equivalent of bubble-wrapping your entire house because you dropped a glass once. Sure, it's lazy, inefficient, and would make your CS professor weep, but hey—at least the app doesn't crash! Ship it and let future-you deal with the technical debt. That's what code reviews are for, right?

Hear Me Out: The Variable Declarations Need A Try-Catch

DARLING, SWEETIE, HONEY CHILD! 💅 You haven't lived until you've inherited code where some ABSOLUTE PSYCHOPATH decided that variable declarations should be wrapped in try-catch blocks! Like, what kind of trauma led to this?! Are they expecting the variable to PHYSICALLY ASSAULT them during initialization?! "Oh no, my string might throw an exception when I declare it!" PLEASE! This is the coding equivalent of wearing a helmet to eat soup! I CAN'T EVEN! 🙄

Error Handlers: Where Developers Hide Their Trauma

This code is peak developer therapy. When your C++ program crashes, it doesn't just fail silently—it vents . The first handler randomly blames an imaginary esoteric language (malbolge, brainfuck, or lisp) for your problems, while the second handler perfectly captures the existential dread of pointer manipulation. The comment "TODO: add more languages to make fun of" is the cherry on top—because even in our error handlers, we maintain a proper backlog. The developer who wrote this has clearly reached the "humor as coping mechanism" stage of programming.

I Suffered A 'Guid' Collision 20 Minutes Ago

The developer who claimed they suffered a GUID collision is basically saying they witnessed a unicorn riding a dragon. GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers) are designed to be practically collision-proof with odds around 1 in 2^122. The error message shows the real culprit: they're just trying to add the same key twice to a collection. It's like telling your friends you saw Bigfoot when you actually just tripped over your own shoelaces. Nice try blaming the universe's randomness for what's clearly a coding mistake!
