Once upon a time, error handling in code was simple: just good old if-else checks. No drama, no flair.
Then came try-catch, promoted as a cleaner, more elegant way to handle errors. And it quickly became the new standard in many languages.
You hear people say “work smart, not hard” all the time. And sure, it sounds great—who doesn’t want to be efficient?
A lot of folks take it the wrong way and end up thinking they don’t have to go through the struggle. Like, just be clever and everything will magically fall into place. That mindset? It can lead to laziness, entitlement, and chasing shortcuts instead of actually doing the work.
