try {
    operation();
} catch {

}

Starting with Java 21 (I think), they've introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:

try {
    operation();
} catch (Exception _) {
    // nice weather, eh?
}

Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel

If your joking yes, if your not Java and Java Script are seperate things.

Actually made this mistake in front of 20 people the other day. Guy at my job mentioned coding in java and I asked if he was doing web dev 🤦

Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?

He said "I've been closing in C# and Java for 2 years" and I asked, in front of everyone, "are you doing web dev?" And he just coldly said no

See this could have been fine if I didn't double down and go "then what are you using java for... OH WAIT"
