Error Handling: Is this part of the course still relevant and up-to-date?

Just wondering since the course material is a few years old. Newer versions of browsers like Chrome and Firefox Developer show information by default in case of any errors

Also, I am using Flywheel instead of MAMP. Does this make any difference?

Error handling is always a point of developing, especially when it comes to connecting to a database, the code needs to go somewhere when it can't find the correct logic, so it may crash and the user of the application won't know what to do. So this is why error handling is good, it tells the user something is wrong.

hope this helps.
