Had a strange thought last year, that if a system runs too smoothly, eventually the knowledge of dealing with breakage will disappear, and when it inevitably breaks, everyone will be unprepared.

So a little bit of breakage is like a healthy "exercise."

Presumably, a functional system is supposed to have some kind of drills to fill in for that. But I have seen ones that don't!

Unfortunately site would need some refurbishment for mobile… slide show doesn’t show, and page is floating.
