  Safety critical systems is a whole discipline I'd love to know more about.

    that's a comment from the kubernetes codebase that has been at the center of 'docs vs self-document code vs linters' debates https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/ec2e767e59395376fa191d7c56a74f53936b7653/pkg/controller/volume/persistentvolume/pv_controller.go#L55 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/ec2e767e593953... and strong agree, safety-critical code is fascinating; I mostly pick my tools for productivity, can't imagine how different my stack would be if it connected to dangerous equipment

      Didnt know that, thanks! The comment in that code does a pretty good job of explaining why the code looks the way it does.
