I see this phrase around a lot and I wish I could understand it better, having not worked with Erlang and only a teeny tiny bit with Elixir.
If I ship a feature that has a type error on some code path and it errors in production, I've now shipped a bug to my customer who was relying on that code path.
How is "let it crash" helpful to my customer who now needs to wait for the issue to be noticed, resolved, a fix deployed, etc.?
