      2/ in hunter gatherer societies, male speed, strength and dexterity peaks in the mid 20s, but hunting success peaks closer to 40 the difference is decades of acquired wisdom about all sorts of tiny things

      3/ In infoworker economies I think something similar happens. Fluid intelligence peaks in the 20s or so, but graybeards have seen all manner of complicated Charlie Foxtrots and can start to predict where they're going to happen.

      4/ I build this complicated app that communicates with Vast Third Party via three different APIs, a mix of XML, JSON, etc. Two of these APIs are outgoing / push (from my PoV), one is inbound. Three weeks ago Third Party pinged us and placed an order. We responded "ok".

          5/ Then, apparently, Third Party pinged us again and placed a second order... and is now upset because second order didn't ship. We have no record of a second order in our system, and we don't have enough inventory to fulfill it.

          6/ This was three weeks ago. How the heck do we debug this? Our server has restarted since then, and the LACK of an order obviously doesn't have an order ID in our system. So Big Co is going to yell at us for dropping a valid order. UGH.

          8/ Which is why I maintain a database table of every incoming XML request, paired with our response XML, the third party customer record (if any), and the order record (if any).

          9/ ...along with tools that let us search this table. So I wrote Huge Third Party an email yesterday saying "I see that at "15 Dec 2020 18:58:02 UTC +00:00 you sent <XML> to us, we responded <XML>. Please note in our response <Error Code=411 Language="en">No inventory</>.

          10/ ...Given that in your documentation Error Code 411 always means "no inventory", and your system should assume that the order attempt failed, it is my belief that we responded correctly and your system is in error. Please advise.

          13/ I'm reminded of two stories from when I was first dating @LibertyFarmNH. One time we were out on a date, and the truck didn't start (turns out alternated died). She said "oh no!". I shrugged, went to the cargo area, got the [ charged ] jumper pack, and started the truck.

          14/ Another time we were exploring rural areas, the paved road turned into a dirt road, and the dirt road got ruts, and we hit something with a BANG and then we heard the muffler dragging on the ground I stopped, got the tool kit, removed a broken bracket, and used bailing wire

          Replying to @MorlockP
          “The wisdom of age” is not some magical mantle that descends on one simply by virtue of years. It’s mostly a case of “been around long enough observing patterns to catch that pattern I’ve seen a gazillion times before the person who has only seen it twice.”

          18/ BigCo responded. "I looked in our system; I see our message to you, placing the order. Problem at your end." ok, BigCo, can you tell me what order ID # we gave you, and what our message said specifically? "there was no order ID. Your response was 'error: no inventory' "pic.twitter.com/V9tkGlGvUp

          21/ me: can you confirm that you ignore the message we send back to you, even if we specify a well defined error code, as documented in your API ? Bigco: <2000> words me: ok, so you do ignore the error code. Alright, I'll dig into the other API now.
