@abstractcode@eigenmagic.net Someone (a Jr. or a Manager, Exec.) would always question the "It is possible that X condition is met, resulting in this specific failure." with "but that would be pretty rare. In"Reality", how likely is it to actually happen?" thinking it as a gotcha/rhetorical question meant to shut down the conversation and never have to worry about it. I lived seeing their faces as they try to process the answer of "It's guaranteed to happen, sooner than you expect and more often than you can afford." The facial expressions start at confusion then move to disbelief, fear and anger, then denial. A few million rows of data processed daily, hundreds of thousands of UX events... The species of any one occurrence are gone from my cache, but I do know many of the probable issues dealt with either timing. And events being processed out of order, some events happening at the same timestamp, a poorly chosen natural key, or an assumed available resource that has a year old ticket about inconsistent accessibility.
