I think people are (slowly) re-learning the importance of redundancy. Having multiple, competing implementations makes you far less vulnerable to shocks.

- posterboy 9y agoUsing relational databases as a model for the structures in question, some form of redundancy (secondary and primary keys) is needed to avoid more redundancy (dublication). I actually don't know what I'm talking about, if it made sense to someone, please correct me where I'm wrong.
- Retric 9y agoThis is not really productive redundancy as for example the Navy and Air Force can't easily swap HR systems. This is mostly everyone being their own little snowflake.
