First, the cloud gave us abstractions that made it easier to forget failure. Infrastructure became someone else's problem, and many systems were designed around happy paths with reliability added later ... managed services remain up ... Now, it is an AI speed-at-all-costs culture that is forcing us to ship code that just works 80% of the time, because it is okay if things fail 20% of the time, but we need to ship faster. Software was supposed to be predictable. Somewhere along the way, we started treating reliability as a tradeoff, and it is now becoming the norm. I do hope we come back to building software that people can depend on and something we are proud of.
