@ doesn't help it error handling, but it supresses the errors.
This above code, supresses the warning if there is something wrong with the query. Its not a good practice to have @, because it makes your life very difficult to know where the exact error is.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

I agree. I have absolutely never used it.... another lazy practice even worse than short tags.
Good code has error handling, not error suppression.
