A failing payment:create-order service can't really send a fallback.
What happens then ?
I'm thinking queue the failed operations and deem the service unavailable until recovery.
When I was in my https://t.co/YSvOF5fxhn, our CSE HOD always used to say :-
The students who came from poor backgrounds and needed a job immediately after graduation were often the ones who spent more time enjoying college life, participating in fests, ragging and other events.
Meanwhile, students from well-settled families were usually the ones who stayed focused on their studies and grabbed the best opportunities after graduation.
I didn't think much about it back then. But now, after graduation, when I look at where my classmates are today, I think it's true .
Non-tech folks and junior developers.
AI give you 'an' answer, not necessarily 'the' answer.
Just because an AI can build something locally or confidently answer a question doesn't mean it's right.
Its their job to answer which is why they are 'generative'.
verify, question.
SaaS is not dead. The kind that is hard to justify buying is. Let me explain... companies pay for SaaS when it wins on at least two of four axes - time, money, capability (team's), and tokens.
If a tool only saves you an afternoon of coding, that is not enough anymore. Anyone can build the core feature in a day. AI made that part cheap. Dirt cheap.
What AI did not make cheap is the plumbing around the core feature - pipelines, integrations, compliance, uptime, audit trails, and edge cases collected over years of production use.
That plumbing is the actual product. It takes time, energy, and effort to ensure correctness. The dashboard is just the part users see.
The SaaS companies that die are the ones whose entire value is a thin wrapper around a feature a team can clone in a weekend. The ones that survive are the ones where switching costs, integrations, and compliance are the moat, not the UI.
Building the demo was never the hard part. We did it overnight in hackathons, and now we do it in minutes with AI.
Remember, the delta between a demo and production is 1,000 commits.
So now there are stupid Yt channels posting hiring drives and job posting shorts.
Disgusting.
Thumbnails being generated by AI is even more disgusting 🤢.
Recently gave Claude Code a detailed schema prompt.
It asked 3–4 rounds of clarifying questions before rebuilding it.
Perfect schema? No. But upfront research, reviews, and clear AI instructions likely saved time later.
What would senior devs do differently ?
