This article makes some very good points. I've been thinking about resilience for a while. Nothing is perfect, and if your system can only work with that assumption, you are bound for failure. I always loved the Erlang philosophy of let it crash. The idea you build a highly resilient system out of error prone parts rocked my world when I first encountered it. None of this is to say we should accept broken things or not try to make them better. We should instead accept some parts will always fail and design accordingly.
