Fault Tolerant Culture
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A culture that assumes failures will happen and therefore values resilience, redundancy, graceful degradation, and calm recovery rather than magical thinking. The phrase applies to teams as much as systems: resilience is partly behavioral.
In plain English: A culture that expects failures and builds resilience around them.
Example: "Their fault tolerant culture showed up in how people designed rollbacks, staffing, and incident communication long before any outage happened."
