In which sense? As a programmer I have to tackle them both the same way: start debugging. I really do not see the difference. In both cases the code does not behave as expected. One might even say that there is a global contract that the code does not raise exceptions. Tackling the failures first is purely a habit induced by the existing system that errors are worse than failures
