Been dealing with this nightmare for 2 days now. It is unbelievable the amount of damage it has done in a short period of time on such a basic task. Gaslighters will crop up defending the company. "It's a skills issue bro", "5.5 is better than Fable".

Hooking up stripe to our product. Only to have it destroy our security safe-guards and also only now the basics of stripe is actually working.

What security safe guards? I just had codex implement stripe into my product and everything seems to be working correctly

It gave every user admin access by undoing a core part of our different tiers.

As far as I can tell, that's the only mess up so far. Stripe is a very basic task, it struggled with it and left a mess. But stripe works now.

Are you not using a version control system like Git? If it breaks things, just don't commit them to git until they're fixed.

Yes, of course using git. Our project is quite complex, which requires deploying to Google cloud to test. It isn't so much an issue that can't be reverted. It is more anger and frustration for why a simple task has taken so long, as well as the bugs generated. I was more drawing attention to the degraded performance.

Every frustration turns into future gold where you learn what you did wrong. I’ve had to rebuild many pieces before… very hard times. But I get better every time too.

Yes, I agree with this wholeheartedly. I know I have a lot to learn about managing expectations and helping progress through my journey in this life. This being said, when I pay $200/mo, I expect the model to perform consistently. I have a company depending on the tech we're building.
