This small essay began as a thread of three tweets by @MathPrinceps. But it seemed such an important point, and so well expressed, that I combined them for easier reading.https://twitter.com/MathPrinceps/status/1371002054475272192 …

"One expects to be wrong at first, for reasons one cannot imagine". Reminds me of designing interactions between more than 3 microservices. Even after hours of discussion, there is this uneasy feeling of "must have missed something".

I'm still baffled by difficult it is to write a computer program without bugs. The passage "One expects to be wrong at first, for reasons one cannot imagine" in mathematics suggests that this is actually a feature of reality. A reassuring thought, I guess. It's not just me!
