Damn. Need to wrap that whole bar in a try: except: that just silently fails. Solves all the issues and you go to another bar.

In my experience silently failing just leaves you standing there waiting for your beer forever, or until someone reboots the universe.

“But if it silently fails then we won’t know there’s a problem until a customer reports it and we go looking for it!”

Yes, and that could be weeks before it becomes my problem again!

And weeks later, after that change has been rolled out to all the bars, the engineer now has to travel to every single one of them to fix it.

lesson: santize your bartenders inputs but also use hierarchical rbac to provide guests access to querying for amenities.

Isn’t it weird that their job title is QA Engineer when their goal is to break stuff?

Bobby ordered beers for the table, stack overflow caused them to black out
