Ensure Software Safety: Build for Resilience

Emphasizing the importance of software resilience, engineers should adopt a triad of technical values: make it work (safety), make it fast (performance), and make it pretty (user experience). Developers often shy away from using assertions due to concerns about crashes, but incorporating them can enhance safety by ensuring systems either operate correctly or safely shut down if anomalies are detected. This is crucial for autonomous software operating at high speeds, where any small error can lead to catastrophic failures. Therefore, building reliable software must prioritize predictability and safety, preventing risks akin to potential disasters in high-speed environments.
