Answer
Ignoring exceptions without logging or handling them.
A common mistake is catching exceptions without logging or addressing them, which can lead to silent failures and make debugging difficult. Proper exception handling involves at least logging the exception to provide insight into the issue. In an e-commerce platform, failing to log payment processing errors can result in undetected transaction failures.
