Proper Exception Handling in Code Reviews

One thing I always check in code reviews: Exception handling. I've seen too many try-catch blocks that just swallow errors silently. No logs. No alerts. Just empty catch blocks pretending nothing happened. Then something breaks in production and nobody knows why. Good error handling means: Log the error with context. Fail fast when recovery isn't possible. Give the user a clear message, not a generic "something went wrong." The 5 minutes it takes to write proper exception handling saves hours of debugging later. What's something you always look for in code reviews? #Java #SpringBoot #CodeReview #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment

Sometimes if exception is thrown from catch block there are 2 scenarios a. Either it is not throwing a specific exception or b. In exception handler that specific exception is not handled. In these scenarios also exception is swallowed and user will see "somethingwent wrong🙂"
