How “let it fail” leads to simpler code
The biggest lesson I learned from the "Let it fail" philosophy, is to distinguish expected errors and unexpected errors. So we can safely ignore the unexpected, and only handle the expected errors in our business logic.

The New XOR Problem
In 1969, Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert published Perceptrons: An Introduction to Computational Geometry. In it, they showed that a single-layer perceptron cannot compute the XOR function. The main argument relies on linear separability: Perceptrons are linear classifiers, which essentially means drawing a line to…
