It’s not an unmeasurable risk to not tell someone their food is ready. And that kind of absolutism in technology is the source of a common failure to meaningfully deal with failure modes of your technology. Losing one in a billion messages telling someone their food is ready can be offset by $100 in marketing budget to buy that person a very nice meal in compensation. We know how to deal with hospitality failures like that, it’s not actually complicated. Spending the effort to reduce the failure below that is not worth the cost, which is certainly more than $100. There’s almost certainly better usages for those developer resources. |
