Starsky postmortem

There’s a tremendous amount of hard slogging detail work to get from 99% to 99.9999%, which is where you need to be. It’s not 1% harder, it’s 10000x harder, and not everybody realizes that. The closer you get to great safety, the harder and harder it is, because each issue becomes harder to find, and each change could cause a regression on something fixed long ago.
