Is it a bad practice to catch Throwable?

by

You need to be as specific as possible. Otherwise unforeseen bugs might creep away this way.

Besides, Throwable covers Error as well and that’s usually no point of return. You don’t want to catch/handle that, you want your program to die immediately so that you can fix it properly.
