"Expected errors should not throw, raise, or panic. Instead, they should return an error result." Part of the problem is devs often can't tell the difference between an error and a negative result. For example, I worked in a code base once that threw errors when a database query came back empty. That's not an error, that's a result! Errors should be _exceptional_ cases, like the connection to the database dropped, or the user provided bad input making the query impossible. Errors as happy path control flow also drive me nuts.
