" If you don’t know exactly what the software does—or if it might do something different the next time you compile it—you can’t build a business around it. You certainly can’t maintain it, extend it, or add new features if it changes whenever you touch it, nor can you debug it.”

result, surprises occur in the form of accidents (fundamentally surprising new paths
to failure) and in the form of negative side effects of the change unanticipated by
designers—‘automation surprises’”
