In Murphy’s Law style, I had Murphy’s Law all wrong

We all know and love to quote Murphy’s Law: «Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.» However, just like the author of this short piece, I’ve used it as a fatalistic shrug after something had gone wrong. That’s not really what it’s about. It’s actually a framework for preventing things from going wrong.
