The “debugging” for these type of issues is looking at some logs and http responses and being like “ah if we get this error it means they restarted their firewall again and took us off the whitelist. Email that guy Joe at the bank and hope he responds”. It’s not rocket science or the majority of my job… but someone’s needs to do it. We automate all the stuff we can.

I’m constantly surprised by how many things are made with human hands, despite the ability to automate.
