17 scenarios
How I design for failure to protect people I'll never meet
When I can design most devices but the life-or-death ones beat me
When rare cascading failures still slip past me
When routine flying is fine but bad weather still tests you
When the strange drone failures still stump you
When you can build pipelines but not ones that hold at scale
When you can design most circuits but the fast ones win
When you can handle most of the job but the hard days still get to you
When you can handle most systems but the critical ones still defeat you
When you can run the test but can't vouch for the robot's safety
When you can test the robot but the rare failures slip past
When you can't foresee every way your design could kill someone
When you realize your design math ends in real bodies
When you validate most designs but the ghost failures slip past
When your careful analysis keeps losing to schedule and cost
When your flawless reliability is invisible because nothing goes wrong
When your tests catch most bugs but the edge cases slip past
