  • Maybe 25 years ago i build my first website for a paying customer ( my dad). I decided to go for php which was new to me at the time.

    I figured it would be too risky ( even back then) to have PHP generate dynamic pages so instead I had php generate static html.

    So whenever website needed updating , for example a new folder with images was added, you could just load the admin.php and it would generate gallery pages for you.

    Would probably still work 25 year later if wasn’t eventually replaced with some WordPress or something








  • It is usefull but the trouble is that they should be much and much more certain about their designs. Let’s say they want 99.99% reliability for real payload then they should by now be at 99.9% . If they want to do it by trail and error they would need to do a lot trials to show that they actually achieved that reliability. Otherwise the next one is still just as likely to explode. I guess what I’m trying to say is that you can’t get there by trial and error.
