@jedws It's easy; either you catch or you have threads dying in prod... /cc @debasishg @channingwalton

@viktorklang @debasishg @channingwalton it seems _convenient_ to break laws, but you break generality in doing so

@jedws My point is that it's a tradeoff. And as any tradeoff you need to weigh pros and cons. /cc @debasishg @channingwalton

@viktorklang @debasishg @channingwalton of course, breaking generality is a tradeoff against using the thing abstractly
