   Spent today looking into a bug that caused large files to be served directly from an S3 bucket, and not from a CDN, which turned out to be a straightforward but costly bug.

   Was chastised by a principal dev in a public channel that this “design decision” is an “architecture anti-pattern”, and when advised that I maintain the codebase part-time, he responded “well unfortunately that codebase is now owned by your team”.

   Sorry I broke your stuff dude, I was thinking about my dying Mum at the time.

     @emilygorcenski It’s definitely not - the bug caused the binaries to bypass the CDN that was in place. The person I was talking to assumed that the files were being served directly from the bucket by design.
