Series: Karınca Açısı
Episode: Bug-Aware, Not Bug-Free
Original title (Turkish): Bug-Free Olmaz Ama Bug-Aware Olur
About the Episode
In this episode, we take inspiration from the collective intelligence of ants to discuss error management, awareness, and why the idea of “bug-free” systems simply doesn’t hold up in the real world.
What matters is not perfection, but sustainability through imperfection.
Bugs are inevitable — what defines a team is how it responds to them.
Topics We Cover
- “Bug-free” isn’t a goal — it’s an illusion
- “Bug-aware” culture: detecting, sharing, and learning from errors
- Balancing Reliability, Resilience, and Sustainability
- Hero culture vs. learning culture
- What ant colonies can teach us about engineering systems
Quote from the Episode
Bugs are inevitable — because complex systems are not deterministic.
The same code can behave differently under different conditions.
Karınca Açısı (Ant’s Eye View)
Ants make mistakes too. But they don’t hide them —
they leave traces and help the colony learn.
Pheromones are logging.
Living bridges are resilience.
The dead ant protocol is technical debt management.
In this episode, we translate “ant logic” into engineering culture —
it’s not about pretending bugs don’t exist, but making bug awareness part of the system itself.
