Would love to see that guy parsing HTTP pages using some sort of manual software stack in python. Exceptions? Could be raised at any level. Most of the time you can't predict at all which exceptions can happen. Server-side errors? Could happen at any level. DNS switch/your provider forgot to restart DNS/Server out of RAM/... Now try to do something along these lines at 1M requests/day. I mean, requests to several API providers who are probably not even providing good docs for their APIs. There's no way you can have a scaled-up IT business without online debugging. Most of the time I spend on is debugging issues that I could absolutely not predict (or realistically, I could only predict them if my budget was a multiple of what it was) when I was writing the program. Real-life problems are based on sets of contradicting requirements. And they are contradicting due to them being at the edge of our understanding; and that's why they are problems.
