The Web is proof that robustness can emerge at scale and the closer you look, the less obvious it is why.

I mean, the code that handles the very first line of every single HTTP response in a browser, every day, is not reliably interoperable.

It's not totally broken per se but it's nowhere near the level of quality you'd expect. I mean, anything critical running on this Web thing?

Some days the Web really feels like a planetary-scale zombie. - Srsly, you should be dead. - *shrug* Whatevs. BRAAAAINS!
