Comment on Ask HN: How do large engineering teams manage application exceptions?

Comments

We don't know much about your environment...

Yet if you feel the need to triage exceptions, you probably have too many of them! you should strive have 0.

If you treat every exception as a disaster, your team will have a better sense of urgency. Have your system send an email to everyone on board.

That's how we do it. Exceptions are only acceptable if they are exceptions (machine/network crash) and can't be recovered from... In which case we let the process crash and restart it.

Non harmful exceptions is a concept I don't get though...
