> I sense a bit of Fear of God motivating your story, something that motivated your management to care -- who is that authority, so that I might get them on my case? Haha! :) The authority is none other than Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau at UW-Madison, along with NASA's Power of 10: Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code [1]. Storage faults and safety bugs, or the general lack of assertions in so many software projects, do indeed terrify us as a team! It's also all credit to Coil's leadership, for caring and being willing to invest long term in better open source infrastructure for payments for everyone—and particularly Interledger, as an open interoperability protocol, to create an ”open network of networks” for payments, to fix the problem of payments for everyone [2]. I'm glad also to see that sibling comments have given tips on how to unblock that nightmare scenario you encountered!
