Exceptions are evil. This is what I do instead.

In today's video we'll talk about why exceptions are evil and why you should probably stop throwing exceptions for flow control.

Not throwing exceptions will make your code faster, simpler, faster to debug, and easier to maintain.

We'll also see the alternative flow control approach which is the result pattern. The result pattern will be demonstrated using ErrorOr, and we'll see how the ErrorOr library can be used to elegantly return errors instead of throwing exceptions.
