Eventually Correct

Perfect correctness is a myth; convergence is real. Good systems don’t start right—they become right over time.

Why correctness isn’t binary in real systems

• distributed realities, latency, drift
  

Eventual consistency as a philosophy

• not just a DB model

Systems that self-correct vs systems that calcify

• healing vs brittleness

Designing for convergence

• retries, reconciliation, compaction

Embracing being “eventually correct” as an engineer

• iteration, humility, adaptiveness
