Covers best practices for exception handling in ASP.NET Core, emphasizing that exceptions should be reserved for truly unpredictable situations rather than expected errors like input validation. Introduces the Result Pattern as a structured alternative for predictable failures, returning a typed Result object with IsSuccess and Error properties instead of throwing exceptions. Also covers creating custom exceptions for better traceability and domain clarity, and helper methods to avoid duplicate exception throwing across a codebase.
