title: Why do good programmers sometimes silently swallow exceptions?
body: <p>I know it's evil, but I've seen swallowed exceptions in code written by a good programmer. So I'm wondering if this bad practice could have at least one positive point.</p>
  
  <p>In other words, it is bad but why do good programmers, on <strong>rare</strong> occasions, use it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>try
  {
      //Some code
  }
  catch(Exception){}
  </code></pre>
