Crash is a feature, though. It's not like exceptions raises by itself into interpreter specifications. It's just that it so happens that Web apps ain't need no airbags that slow down businesses.
- Spivak 3y agoI love that phrasing, I'm gonna use that from now on when talking about low-stakes vs high-stakes systems.
- marcosdumay 3y agoOn a multi-user system, only partial crashes are features. Total crashes are bugs. A web server is a multi-user system, just like a country's air traffic control.
- acdha 3y agoThat line of reasoning is how you have systemic failures like this (or the Ariane 5 debacle). It only makes sense in the most dire of situations, like shutting down a reactor, not input validation. At most this failure should have grounded just the one affected flight rather than the entire transportation network.
