## 简介

Wow, what a concept:

> you can think of […] reliable systems […] as successfully imagining all of the potential things that could go wrong

This 2.5-minute podcast from Todd Conklin has a really great question: to achieve reliability, do we have to try to imagine in advance all of the possible ways our systems could fail?

We are good a prevention.

We are not so good at prediction.

Can we ever possibly know all the things that could happen wrong in a system that mostly happens right? It is a good question, one that needs some time and thinking by YOU.

This podcast is the beginning of a long-term discussion about prevention and prediction. Get ready. Fasten your psycholicial seat belts.... we are going for a ride.
