Kotlin Coroutine Confidence: error handling suggestion (page 43) (Solved)
Possibly too pedantic, but I’d be tempted to remind the reader that they can certainly put the try/catch inside the launch and it will work. Less obv, they can put it just outside the coroutineScope and it will also work, but it will cancel the sibling jobs if they’re still running.

Thanks—found it. I reread this section and found quite a few opportunities to make it better. I’m going to include both your suggestions. I also found some repetitive bits to cut out, and I think the changes improve the way the whole section flows with the rest of the chapter. It should be a lot better in the next Beta release—thank you for drawing my attention to it!
