A lot of the software industry focuses on strong types, testing of all kinds, linting, and plenty of other sideshows that make programmers feel like they're in control, but these things only account for the problems you can test for and the systems you control. So what if a function gets a null instead of a float? It shouldn't crash half the tech-connected world. Software resilience is kind of lacking in favor of trusting that strong types and tests will catch most bugs, and that's good enough?
