Alex Jahraus wants to give this talk

Failure is Inevitable – on Exceptions, Errors, and Edge Cases

  • Some insights from Avdi Grimm’s book Exceptional Ruby on the error handling features and conventions in Ruby
  • Conceptual differences between code exceptions, system failures, and business issues – why is it useful to distinguish between them?
  • How failure-tolerant should a system be? In other words, when is it OK not to handle an Exception that is raised somewhere in the stack?

↑ the above is probably more than enough scope for one talk, but if not, we can also explore error tracking services, and practical approaches for separating signal from noise
