Fixed up the Retry Code and Added Instrumentation
I've been having plenty of issues with one of the processes in the application, and I needed to really bolster up this optimistic code with some solid defensive coding - including handling timeouts and putting in some solid New Relic instrumentation to boot. These latter phases of the project have really been glossed over until recently - little to no logging, no instrumentation, no real careful, thoughtful coding.
So I have to go back and do it now.
Ideally, it's be great to see a change in the harts and minds of my team-mates, but I'm not counting on that. I think it's just not in how they seem themselves and their jobs. So it's up to me to do it.
It's not horribly hard, and it keeps me off the streets.
