2/ WELL ...turns out that when you don't check the status code that a function returns you can BE FAILING TO PUSH DATA TO A PARTNER FIRM FOR TWO MONTHS, AND NEVER KNOW omg this is one of my bigger fails F but ...it's all recoverable.

3/ been asked some questions about this, so will explain more: * there is only one engineer on this project. it me. * my code uses API entry point 1 to push a large block of data to partner, then uses entry pt 2 to push diffs * counterparty has been acting as if >

4/ they got the original big block of data, but none of the small diffs. "That's odd", I say, "because right here in my database I have records of having pushed them to you, and every one has a 'success' status code attached". So ... uh uh oh

5/ I had two (2.5 ?) bugs: * 2nd API call was failing bc I was handing it poorly formatted data ; it returned { :success => false, :error_msg=> "... "} * I failed to check that return code * default value for db column "success?" was true sigh
