Why did my engineering team handle payments through Stripe instead of building a custom payment processor? Aren’t they supposed to be engineering things?

- 9rx 1y agoCoding agents presumably don't know how to deal with non-coding things. Stripe's real value isn't in its technology, but it sorting out the complex human problems associated with payment processing. Sending a number over a network is not any great feat. Getting humans to agree that number has meaning is another matter.
- imtringued 1y agoThis is an extremely roundabout way of saying that you need a payment processor license.
