      Basically sweeps errors under rug.

      No error handling and go again.

      There you go:

      # Start an infinite loop because True will always be True
      while True: 
          # try to run the main function, usually where everything happens
          try:
              main()
          # in the case an exception is raised in the main function simply discard (pass) and restart the loop
          except:
              pass

        Thank you for that answer! That makes sense.

      This gives some better context. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21553327/why-is-except-pass-a-bad-programming-practice

      But essentially ignoring every single error a program could generate is not great. It’d be better to know what those errors are and fix/prevent them from occurring in the first place.
