Just to add some metric to that metric:
"Showing 313,243 available code results"
https://github.com/search?l=php&q=%22new+Exception%22&type=Code&utf8=%
E2%9C%93
many of those results are irrelevant (test cases, code snippets etc.)
and unfortunately GitHb search can't group forked repos but there's
still a large amount of code broken for no good enough reason (my
opinion)
