Elm's 'no runtime exceptions' appeal shows the web industry still cares about reliability, but tools like New Relic and Datadog assume an engineer on call; with AI-generated landing pages multiplying the failure surface and SMBs running more sophisticated stores than ever, non-technical owners need a doctor's checkup, not a developer's dashboard.
