Catch specific exceptions when recovery is possible and use Throwable at an application boundary: ~~~php try { $user = $service->load($id); } catch (NotFoundException $e) { return Response::notFound(); } catch (Throwable $e) { $logger->error('User load failed', ['exception' => $e]); throw $e; } ~~~ Prefer throwing domain exceptions over returning false or null for errors, never leave a catch block empty, and use finally for cleanup.
