Yeah I totally agree here. There is a lot of hand wringing about hiring 'the best programmers' etc, but the reality is everyone is human and humans make mistak

Yeah I totally agree here. There is a lot of hand wringing about hiring 'the best programmers' etc, but the reality is everyone is human and humans make mistake. Lets make the systems resilient to mistakes that humans make - strange how this seemingly simple statement is actually quite controversial around here! In truly large systems, all of the above happens and more. This is why error handling in C is so problematic, and why we toss it with Java. That go is bringing it back, is a little worrysome. Then again, go might be a hackers language, and might ultimately end up being the repository of write-once programs that aren't maintained.
