I wonder if there is a sort of "confident programming" alternative. Sort of "play to win" instead of "play to not lose" I imagine confidently coding and doing stuff like: if(count < 0) panic(); instead of: if(count < 0) { log_message("count is not supposed to be less than zero!"); error_recovery(); fallback_handler(); // etc... }
