[ale] Humorous (to me at least) note

[Dylan Northrup]

This actually bugs this shit out of me, especially when I was dealing with
some Java developers trying to stress test their software and track down
the source of any failures.  Hearing "Oh, that stack trace is normal" was
irritating as hell because it made determining the source of an issue very,
very difficult.  If you have a known exception, FFS handle it!  You have
the tools!  It's not like it's difficult, it just takes time and attention
to detail. . . . and a modicum of care about the ultimate consumers of your
software (which, sadly, seems to be low on many developers' priorities).
