We are not talking about those sort of failures here. But almost everyone who has every written code, has failed or written buggy code at some point in time.

In fact I'm a tad little surprised that I'm having to sell the virtues of incremental failure in a forum that idolizes "Move fast and break things"

The thread is about working with Indian contractors who frequently lie, pretending they know what is going on. We are very much talking about this kind of problem.

What I'm talking about is orthogonal to this. You can move fast and break things, but be straight forward to your manager about the risk involved.
