Adrian shares key insights: resilience comes from controlled stress exposure, like Finland's sauna-to-ice tradition. Architecture reviews often miss component interactions and degradation patterns. Removing complexity (like an automated failover system) can improve resilience. Truly resilient teams embrace uncertainty, practice failures, and respond with curiosity instead of blame. He critiques root cause analysis frameworks for oversimplifying complex failures and advocates focusing on context rather than blame. Adrian notes resilience is cultural, requiring vulnerability and adaptability, while warning of the "prevention paradox" where successful prevention work becomes undervalued because disasters never materialize.
