Closed That Tab: What "How Complex Systems Fail" Teaches Software Engineers by Overcommitted | Software Engineering and Programming Insights

Post details
Closed That Tab is back. Erika finally read Richard Cook's How Complex Systems Fail, an 18 point paper Cook wrote with patient safety and medical systems in mind, but one that is frequently discussed in web development and software engineering since the foundational principles apply universally. Erika and Bethany work through what holds up in practice.They cover the difference between normal failure and catastrophic failure, why knowing your system's baseline is its own skill, and why fixes are never free: every change adds complexity, knowledge gaps, and new risk. They get into safety as a set of defensive actions, including rate limiting, caching, rollback plans, feature flags, backups, playbooks, and watching for drift. Then they take on Cook's most contested claim, that root cause analysis is fundamentally wrong for complex systems, and where they agree and disagree. Bethany makes the case that incident reviews are still one of the best learning tools available, as long as psychological safety comes first.The conversation also digs into hindsight bias and self-blame, the difference between taking accountability and taking blame, practitioners as both the risk and the defense in a system, why training and safety work are chronically undervalued, where AI helps during an incident and where you still need a human expert, practicing failure through game days and shadowing, and keeping on-call sustainable so you do not burn out the people holding the pager.HostsOvercommitted: https://overcommitted.devBethany Janos: https://www.trustyduck.devErika Eggemeyer: https://github.com/eggyheadLinksHow Complex Systems Fail by Richard Cook: https://www.adaptivecapacitylabs.com/HowComplexSystemsFail.pdfThinking In Systems: https://www.chelseagreen.com/product/thinking-in-systems/

Customers don’t ask you to pay down technical debt. They notice when the product is slow, unreliable, or keeps breaking in the same damn way. Kristin Isaac joins Robby to explore how engineers can translate invisible maintenance work into customer and business impact… and why that skill may become even more important as AI makes software faster to create than to understand.

I was harassed and assaulted by two of your industry faves at work. Both are still successful and well-liked. One happened in a room full of people; nobody stopped him or helped me. The other threatened victims into silence. You might not be one of the 7, but you're at least friends with the 57.

This is why I don't have any tolerance for "not all men" type comments. You absolutely know women who have been assaulted whether she tells you that or not, but most men would insist that none of their friends would do that or allow that to happen.

Open Source Security: Sovereignty, policy, and OpenUK with Amanda Brock

Post details
Josh welcomes Amanda Brock from OpenUK to chat about sovereignty, policy, open source, and a whole host of other topics. Amanda has front row seat into how sovereignty decisions can affect a county and its open source. It seems sometimes like open source is a global phenomenon, but there are always country wide considerations. This is what the OpenUK is doing in the UK. The discussion is great and the things the OpenUK is dealing with will affect many of us moving forward, even if we would prefer to ignore our digital borders.

The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.

Open Source Security: The curl summer of Bliss with Daniel and Stefan

Post details
Josh chats with Daniel and Stefan from curl about their summer of bliss. Curl stopped taking vulnerability reports for a month and nothing much happened really. Daniel and Stefan have a really pragmatic view of all the new LLM powered vulnerability detection tools. The cost of finding a vulnerability has dropped dramatically, but the cost of fixing those bugs hasn't changed. Taking some time off is important for anyone in the middle of these reports. Daniel and Stefan have some great experience and ideas on how to make this all happen. It's great advice for anyone working on software, not just open source.
