Applying Industrial Safety Lessons to CI Pipelines

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A former industrial turnaround worker applies the 'double block-and-bleed' safety principle to CI pipelines, advocating for layered validation over single-tool reliance. The approach uses multiple independent checks—formatting, linting, type checking, accessibility, performance, HTML validation, SEO analysis, and manual review—to catch failures that any one tool might miss. This philosophy assumes components will fail and designs systems to fail safely.
