Failsafes and Safety Fails (2024)
A detailed case study of a 2003 train runaway incident in Melbourne, Australia, used to illustrate important software engineering principles around system design, fail-safes, observability, and incident management. The speaker uses the real-world incident to draw parallels with modern software development challenges and emphasizes the importance of proper documentation, communication, and designing systems with failure modes in mind.
