Wait it uses “blast radius” ? In what context?

For example: limiting the number of resources in a particular Terraform state file so that if an apply goes wrong, it just takes out the dev instance for the app and not the prod instance if every company app.

It uses "blast radius" often in similar contexts.

I see "blast radii" all the time in context of refactorizations. Like, what happens if we swap library A for library B.

Literally any type of rename, refactor or bug fix
