Your system works… until it doesn’t.
Servers crash. Bugs happen. Humans make mistakes.
Reliability isn’t about avoiding failures —
it’s about building systems that keep working *despite* them.
If a user still gets a response even after something breaks,
that’s a reliable system.
Good systems don’t panic under failure.
They’re designed for it.
