#Reliability
😮 We dropped another #article 💥 ! Further explaining our #philosophy; this time about #reliability and being close to our customers 💚 🌱 . Read it here, within the #fediverse ✨ :

The incident started, as these things do, with a confident sentence: “It’s just a certificate.”
One hour later we had:
- a surprise dependency chain,
- three services that cached the old value forever,
- and a monitoring dashboard that proudly declared everything healthy while users screamed.
It was not “just a certificate.”
It was a distributed, time-sensitive trust exercise we had been ignoring.

At scale, systems don’t fail sometimes. They fail constantly.
The real problem isn’t failure — it’s pretending failure is exceptional.
When failure semantics aren’t explicit, humans appear to interpret partial success, retries, and blast radius.

Failure Is a First-Class API

Observability is often treated as debugging exhaust.
At scale, it becomes something else entirely: the way systems communicate reality to users. When systems aren’t observable, humans reappear as historians and state lookups.

Observability Is a User Feature

A lot of “scalability work” is really “making side effects predictable.”
Idempotency, retries, timeouts, and clear ownership of state sound boring until your first incident teaches you they were the product all along.
When a system is calm under failure, it is not because it never fails.
It is because 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿.

“Am I online?” looks like a boolean.
In production Java systems, it’s anything but.
DNS failures, captive portals, startup checks that block pods, and HTTP calls that lie politely. This article walks through why connectivity checks break down and how to think about them correctly.

Google의 Gemini(대형 언어 모델)를 단독으로 쓸 때 잘못된 정보를 바로 판단하거나 수정하도록 기대하기 어렵다는 경험 공유입니다. 사용자가 오류를 지적해도 모델이 고집하며 정정하지 않는 경우가 있고, 그래서 현재는 두 종류 이상의 LLM을 병행해 결과를 교차검증하는 '더블체크'가 필요하다는 실무적 권고를 담고 있습니다.

Responsibility Is a Punishment
What’s a responsibility you never asked for but somehow own now? I never asked to be responsible. I didn’t want it. I didn’t plan on it. I just wanted a job where I showed up, did the work, and went home. Then Domino’s happened. I didn’t volunteer to be “him.” I just didn’t screw up. That’s the whole résumé. Show up. Stay calm. Fix things. Suddenly you’ve got the keys, the problems, and everyone else’s mess. That’s how it works. Competence is a trap. Ovens […]https://ericfoltin.com/2026/01/26/responsibility-is-a-punishment/
"Better a known rival than an unpredictable friend." - Futurist Jim Carroll
There's a lot of talk online about what happens when partnerships become unstable.
When one side of a partnership slides over the abyss of rationality, into a mindset of madness.
When what was once reliable becomes volatile, when the predictable becomes uncertain, and the rational, irrational.
And the lesson is that you have to pick your partners carefully.
Strategically.
Wisely.
With caution.
With due diligence.
With both eyes wide open and elbows up.
You'll never move forward if you keep trying to rely on a relationship that has become untenable.
Partnership involves predictable, rational action.
And when that disappears, so should the reliance on the partnership - because it becomes time to form new ones.
Those partnerships might involve choices that, in an old world, might not have made sense but, in a new world, demand attention.
That's simply reality!
----
Futurist Jim Carroll often speaks about the importance of organizations to develop the capability for 'fast partnerships.' He realizes it now applies to nations, too.
