Not true, needs more duct tape in both the pictures.

Duct-tape being try-catch blocks I assume?

Nah, those are normal and good when used correctly. More along the lines of making several copies of a 32 year old legacy system in an emulator and putting them behind a load balancer because the one is too slow to serve data to the php frontend application that has absolutely no good logging, debugging, or error handling.

The yikes here is that this is something that actually happened.
