My favorite from your insightful recommendations: actively try to break your own systems. "Chaos monkeys" is a wonderful phrase and concept I picked up somewhere, as a strategy for testing and improving the resilience of systems. Since I learned of it, I've been introducing chaotic elements to test a wider range of inputs/behaviors, and indeed it has uncovered failing edge cases and helped to make application logic more robust.
