What can be learnt from the 2010 Flash Crash? (Defensive Argument Checking in Modern Pascal)
YouTube video by Silver Pascal Coder What can be learnt from the 2010 Flash Crash? (Defensive Argument Checking in Modern Pascal)

What can be learnt from the 2010 flash crash?

Sometime "correct" code isn't enough and how we can use defensive argument checking in Pascal to build systems that actually survive chaos...
