On: Error handling in Rust

[barrkel]

TBH, I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen an empty catch block without a justifiable comment. I think it's a straw man.

I've worked as a consultant on a ton of projects with teams of massively varying skill levels, and I too can count the empty catch blocks on one hand, provided that hand has hundreds of fingers.

This is a strong argument for not becoming a consultant.

[steveklabnik → barrkel]

I read it as a strong argument that consultancy, as a business, won't be going away any time soon.
