The Daily WTF

A junior developer, tasked with implementing error handling in a Python Flask application, created a convoluted function to determine if an object is an exception. The function uses type comparisons and exception handling inappropriately, demonstrating a common mistake of misusing exception handling and misunderstanding proper code reuse strategies. The junior's intent was to reuse a single function as both a request and error handler, leading to unnecessary complexity.
