Comment on Ask HN: How to Create “Boring” Software?parent

Trying to handle every error can also be a distraction though. I would suggest to only try to display errors that are likely to occur. It’s okay for a few unlikely errors to be not surfaced other than with a cryptic “there was an error.” This can shorten development time by a lot depending on your architecture.

No, boring software checks for all errors. It might only log the unlikely ones, but it has a log for them all so that if any happen that shouldn't we can figure out why.
