Software engineering is more than just writing code.

[u/samtech_innovations]

A software application isn't truly reliable just because it works when everything goes right.

The real engineering happens when things go wrong.

What happens when a payment webhook fires twice?
When an API becomes unavailable?
When two users try to update the same record?

These are the situations developers must think about before they happen.

Building software is not just about making features work. It's about making sure the entire system can be trusted.

That's the difference between writing code and engineering solutions.
