Hi Jessica,
From this I'm reading: Going bad being rare should just be accepted,
because the benefit is greater than the deficit.
I disagree: Bugs like those in FreeBSD's qsort() can/do create random
victims out there having real life consequences. Being a victim is fine
as long as it is not me?
Databases, QuickSort, JSON, HTML, HTTP request timeout, default values
and AirTags. What can go wrong goes wrong!
