-Do *not* use it as the Node.js equivalent of `On Error Resume Next`. An

+Note that `'uncaughtException'` is a crude mechanism for exception handling
+intended to be used only as a last resort. The event *should not* be used as
+an equivalent to `On Error Resume Next`. Unhandled exceptions inherently mean
+that an application is in an undefined state. Attempting to resume application
+code without properly recovering from the exception can cause additional
+unforeseen and unpredictable issues.
 
 Exceptions thrown from within the event handler will not be caught. Instead the
 process will exit with a non zero exit code and the stack trace will be printed.
 This is to avoid infinite recursion.
 
-Think of resuming as pulling the power cord when you are upgrading your system.

+Attempting to resume normally after an uncaught exception can be similar to
