Thoughts​

There’s always a certain thrill when you encounter a bug that seems impossible to fix. This was exactly the situation I faced when one of my test clients decided to switch their payment provider.

Despite the simplicity of the change, I couldn't pinpoint why it wouldn’t go through. Everything appeared to be in order, yet the system refused to cooperate, and I found no errors to guide me.

I dedicated the entire day yesterday to debugging, determined to uncover the source of the issue. Finally, after much perseverance, I discovered an obscure setting hidden deep within the stack. The moment I resolved the problem was bittersweet; I felt a rush of satisfaction from fixing it, but I couldn’t shake the disappointment of how long it had taken, which left me feeling quite conflicted.
