"I think it speaks to the reality of a development process lead by humans in uncharted territory."
Yes, exactly, and that's why we can't have distributed systems with 'no central authority' - if those systems are inherently and always faulty there needs to be intervention of some kind by an 'authority'.
There is no such thing as a trestles system, the whole thing depends on webs of trust.
- pshc 5y agoI guess we’ll find out Soon(TM). Trustless computation is the plan. Maybe it’s possible to build a system that’s correct/antifragile enough, when you restrict yourself to some hundreds of lines of code tops?
- jollybean 5y agoThat could be true, but it doesn't matter until we find a real use case that transcends our regular systems.
