JavaScript is especially hard.
sentry $ find node_modules -type f | wc -l 36882
sentry $ du -hs node_modules 308M node_modules
function multiply() { var rv = 1; for (var i
= 0; i < arguments.length; i++) rv += arguments[i]; return rv; } > multiply(2, 2) <- 4
test('multiply 2 * 2 to equal 4', () => {
expect(multiply(2, 2)).toBe(4); }); 100% test coverage btw
> multiply(2, 2) <- 4
> multiply(2, 2) <- 4 > multiply() <- 1
> multiply(2, 2) <- 4 > multiply() <- 1 >
multiply(1, 1) <- 3
> multiply(2, 2) <- 4 > multiply() <- 1 >
multiply(1, 1) <- 3 > multiply(1, {}) <- "2[object Object]"
Shipping code is the worst.

Yas, I did it!
I think my computer is broken.
Step 1:
Step 1: Acceptance
This is hard. But that’s ok.
Step 2:
Step 2: Self-awareness
You won’t know everything. You will make mistakes. But that’s
OK.
Step 3:
Step 3: Do your best
Learn from mistakes. assume the worst.
How to deal with production.
Bug-free code is very rare.
Respond quickly when things are broken.
Monitoring is good.
Meet Sentry.
