It’s been 30+ hours since I applied for the Original Content Rewards program, and I’m still waiting. 🧘
Meanwhile, my timeline is full of “I got accepted” and “I got rejected” posts.
At this point, I think they’re determined to make me wait the full 3 days. 😅
Things that look like coding problems but aren't
Slow API → Database problem
Duplicate code → Design problem
Random bugs → Architecture problem
Timeouts → Networking problem
Huge bundle → Dependency problem

Sounds smart.
Until you ask:
“What exactly are you retrying?”
Fetching a profile? Probably fine.
Charging a card? You might charge them twice.
1 payment → 2 payments → 3 payments
Retries
