There are a million different ways a computer can fail. I think we're asking too much of people to be able to know all the pitfalls of every system they create.

There are a million different ways a computer can fail. I think we're asking too much of people to be able to know all the pitfalls of every system they create. But also this 'new field' just seems like something we've already been doing just with a different name. You're kind of expected to make sure your system can work if the computer suddenly shuts off, or a dependency is lost, or the network is slow. Have we not been doing this??
