>>> Where release engineering gets interesting is how you handle the happy path vs. a breaking release.

It's simple. Never make a breaking release.

This is basically a: "We kill the Batman" statement, on its own :)

On the opposite, it's more of a "dont kill the batman".

How hard can it be to not do something? Not very difficult.

But you are doing something, writing then releasing software, regardless. It's silly to claim that "not making mistakes" is easier than "making mistakes".

Yes, it's very easy if you never release.
