React San Fran 2014 : Leslie Lamport - Who Builds a Skyscraper without Drawing Blueprints?
Leslie Lamport closing keynote for React SF 2014.
Architects draw detailed plans before construction begins. Software engineers don't. Can this be why buildings seldom collapse and programs often crash?
A blueprint for software is called a specification. TLA+ specifications have been described as exhaustively testable pseudo-code. High-level TLA+ specifications can catch design errors that are now found only by examining the rubble after a system has collapsed.
