The Unhandled Exception Podcast

In this episode, I was joined for a second time by Callum Linington - this time to discuss exceptions, which is quite fitting given the show’s name! We chatted about why you should avoid using exceptions for your main business logic and control flow, and explored better ways to handle errors. And I’m afraid the “monad” word got thrown in too! 🙈
