The Key from Stackoverflow

Introduction

For many years, we have been dealing with memes like

try{
	doSomething();
}catch(Exception ex) {
	println(getSolutionFromStackoverflow(ex))
}finally {
	testAndApplyThefix()
}

fun getSolutionFromStackoverflow(val ex:Exception) {
	curl get stackoverflow.com?q=ex.message
    ...
}

where the developers run into an error, they immediately lookup the exception in stackoverflow.com and get the solution and validate and close the error.

This is a real one that is available from drop.com

The original stackoverflow blogpost is here: https://stackoverflow.blog/2021/09/28/become-a-better-coder-with-this-one-weird-click/

Looks like these will be part of a developer toolset in the near future
