"Don't throw exceptions, use a result pattern instead" is the kind of #programming advice that we see viralizing everywhere. The way I see it, that's actually a very Bad advice. Join me in this video as I'll provide a detailed historical context and evolution to show why exceptions were introduced in programming in the first place. The result pattern basically introduces the problems developers had 60 years ago in modern codebases. That's not inherently bad, as programming languages have evolved and we have far better tooling. So what would be a better advice regarding throwing exceptions or returning results? Watch and you'll find out!
