  1. source-file [-Fnqv] [-t target-pane] path ...
                  (alias: source)
            Execute commands from one or more files specified by path
            (which may be glob(7) patterns).  If -F is present, then
            path is expanded as a format.  If -q is given, no error
            will be returned if path does not exist.  With -n, the
            file is parsed but no commands are executed.  -v shows
            the parsed commands and line numbers if possible.

  5. With so many interacting components, the number of things that can go wrong in a distributed system is enormous. You’ll never be able to prevent all possible failure modes, but you can identify many of the weaknesses in your system before they’re triggered by these events. This report introduces you to Chaos Engineering, a method of experimenting on infrastructure that lets you expose weaknesses before they become a real problem.
