John Graham-Cumming: Programmer Gore

And when distributed or parallel systems go wrong, they go wrong in weird and wonderful ways that make great programmer gore stories.

I love this tale of computers gone wrong. It happens all the time, and it's great to talk about it. Underneath the fun and the horror, we learn. Just a little. Sometimes not just about computer systems, but about ourselves too.
