5 Startups Using AI For Altruistic Ends 

AI is regularly plagued by the headline: ‘robots are going to steal our jobs’. The fear felt by workers in roles which are looking to be automated with intelligent machines is of course understandable and justified, but there is much more to the AI conversation if instead of replacement, we consider what can be added to jobs done by people.

Until you break Apache Kafka you don't know how fragile it is. Why would you deliberately break Kafka? Because you want to learn what can go wrong and how to prevent it. When Kafka breaks in production you'll want to fix it as fast as possible. It's cheaper to invest into learning how to chaos test Kafka than it's to hire lawyers because you broke an SLA. The purpose of chaos testing is to see what happens when a service fails. Instead of assertions, chaos tests use monitoring solutions to prove correctness.
