FFFail Fast

"Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward." - John C. Maxwell

Key Takeaways
  • Stop and report errors right away, don't hide them.
  • Spotting problems early makes them easier and faster to fix.
  • Quick error alerts help keep software working smoothly for everyone.

Description

The "Fail Fast" approach is like setting up an alarm system that goes off the moment something isn't right.

For example, think about a piece of software that needs certain settings from a file to work correctly. If it can't find these settings, "Fail Fast" would make the software stop and clearly ask for what's missing instead of just limping along with guesswork and potentially causing bigger issues down the road.

This way you can quickly see what's broken and get it fixed right away.
