This is the first in a series of devlogs I'll be doing to discuss technical challenges with the work I'm facing. I'll be talking about things encountered in my day-to-day work and also side-projects.

In this log, I speak about a challenging scenario within a legacy system which had poor transaction boundaries which, when a faulty listener was added, could break otherwise healthy functionality.

It would mean a lot if you enjoyed the video to like/subscribe in order to let me know if you enjoyed the content.
