RubyConf 2021 - Schrödinger's Error: Living In the grey area of Exceptions by Sweta Sanghavi

Schrödinger's Error: Living In the grey area of Exceptions by Sweta Sanghavi ArgumentErrors, TimeOuts, TypeErrors… even scanning a monitoring dashboard can be overwhelming. Any complex system is likely swimming in exceptions. Some are high value signals. Some are red herrings. Resilient applications that live in the entropy of the web require developers to be experts at responding to exceptions. But which ones and how? In this talk, we’ll discuss what makes exception management difficult, tools to triage and respond to exceptions, and processes for more collective and effective exception management. We'll also explore some related opinions from you, my dear colleagues.
