I agree. It doesn’t matter if you give an inexperienced person a hammer or a saw — they’ll still screw it up. My biggest pet peeve is they NO ONE ever does failure modeling. I swear everyone builds things assuming it will work perfectly. Then when you mention if one part fails, it will completely bring down everything, they’ll say that it’s a 1 in a million chance. Yeah, the problem isn’t that it’s unlikely, it’s that when it does happen, you’ve perfectly designed your system to destroy itself. |

It's actually quite routine stuff now in finance at least - to perform some kind of 'fire test' on a regular basis - you shut down some components during the day, and switch to backups solutions, to test everything works smoothly.
