Answer
Silently catching exceptions. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Silently catching exceptions, where an exception is caught and ignored without any handling or logging, is a common anti-pattern. This makes debugging difficult as the error is not reported or visible. For instance, catching an exception with an empty block doesn't inform you of any issues.
