WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM HISTORY'S MOST BIZARRE SOFTWARE BUGS?
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
History has had catastrophic failures due to software bugs, like the Boeing 737 MAX crash and NASA's $125 million Mars orbiter loss due to unit confusion. There were also amusing bugs, like Google accidentally marking every website as dangerous due to a single typo. Complex systems rarely fail from a single cause but from cascading chain reactions.
