We know how to build reliable software. When it really matters, because lives are on the line or because failures cost real money, it is done.
What we don’t know is how to write reliable software while also delivering an MVP for antsy VCs and shipping feature updates every week.
And that’s fine. Not all software needs extreme reliability. The problem is that a lot of software gets categorized as “doesn’t need it” when it really shouldn’t be, like all those systems holding sensitive personal information.
