@hjertnes you’re right, some more context would be needed.
I like the idea of under-eng being around system resilience and such. You said it, connection will drop, services will crash etc, so might as well handle it (https://twitter.com/daganev/status/1456268481444257802?s=21)
My experience though is that mindset (“we should handle things that could happen”) will be an excuse for some people to go nuts and add more and more useless complexity.
