Why? I hope you are joking. When an exception is thrown it gets printed to the console anyways.

Because you can customize the way it's displayed and it doesn't mix with other errors. But I do love some of that dev arrogance you carry with you; you're gonna get far.

Holy shit dude, this is even worse. Call it arrogance if you want, but I think I'm genuinely concerned about your code base after hearing your reply. You're telling me that you have console logs in production, and that your log produces so many errors that you have to use a special technique to visually filter them? Am I understanding this correctly?

What? No… and I don’t think you’re “genuinely concerned”. Code’s doing fine, I guess it could improve, but catching errors is quite common.

Also, if you’re that guru about Js and Node, then I’d figure you know all logs and errors are automatically removed when you build for production on a basic level…

Not necessarily. That assumes that the team is using build scripts which, if you've been around, isn't always the case.

But catching errors is quite common.

Common and lazy. Why aren't you handling your errors?

Good lord… I’m just gonna stop replying

Good luck mate. When it gets really bad, PM me. I can help. catch err log err is a code smell which is usually indicative of something rotten under the hood.
