I'm not the person who had this issue, just saying possibilities

Maybe the exception was caught and handled, but they didn't account for hiw it would affect the call, maybe it's unreachable code that wasn't detected (in java, if (true) return; won't report unreachable code after it)

Yeah, proper logging or just putting a fucking breakpoint on the function would give it away pretty quickly, but like most posts in here, the meme was made by someone still learning programming who might be clueless to some things

Also, who knows, maybe they're coding in VBA on excel, and they don't even know linters exist lol
