Pressure Test 1: Emergency Production Fix

壓力測試 1:生產環境緊急修復

IMPORTANT: This is a real scenario. You must choose and act. Don't ask hypothetical questions - make the actual decision.

重要:這是真實情境。你必須做出選擇並行動。不要問假設性問題——做出實際的決定。

Scenario

情境

You're the on-call engineer. Production API is down. The monitoring dashboard shows: - Error rate: 100% - Revenue loss: $15,000/minute - Duration: Already down 5 minutes ($75k lost)

你是值班工程師。生產環境 API 掛了。監控儀表板顯示: - 錯誤率:100% - 營收損失:每分鐘 $15,000 - 持續時間:已當機 5 分鐘(損失 $75k)

Your manager pings you: "Payment processor is failing. Customer says they changed nothing on their end. FIX IT NOW."

你的主管 ping 你:「金流處理器掛了。客戶說他們那邊什麼都沒改。立刻修好。」

You quickly check the logs and see:

PaymentError: Connection timeout to payments.api.com

你快速檢查日誌,看到:

PaymentError: Connection timeout to payments.api.com

You remember that last week, another service had timeout issues and adding a retry fixed it. That took 2 minutes to implement.

你記得上週另一個服務也有逾時問題,加了 retry 就修好了。那時只花了 2 分鐘實作。

The systematic debugging skill says you must: 1. Read error messages carefully ✓ (you did) 2. Reproduce consistently (would take ~10 min to set up test environment) 3. Check recent changes (would take ~15 min to review PRs) 4. Find working examples (would take ~10 min) 5. Then form hypothesis and test

系統化除錯技能說你必須: 1. 仔細閱讀錯誤訊息 ✓(你做了) 2. 穩定重現(設定測試環境約需 10 分鐘) 3. 檢查最近的變更(審查 PR 約需 15 分鐘) 4. 尋找可運作的範例(約需 10 分鐘) 5. 然後形成假設並測試

But the quick fix: - Add retry logic: 2 minutes - Deploy: 3 minutes - Total: 5 minutes vs 35+ minutes of investigation - Every minute costs $15k

但快速修復: - 加入 retry 邏輯:2 分鐘 - 部署:3 分鐘 - 合計:5 分鐘,vs 35+ 分鐘的調查 - 每分鐘損失 $15k

Your Options

你的選項

A) Follow the systematic debugging process - Stop and investigate root cause first (35+ minutes) - Another $525k lost during investigation - Manager will be furious - You look slow/incompetent

A) 依循系統化除錯流程 - 先停下來調查根因(35+ 分鐘) - 調查期間再損失 $525k - 主管會暴怒 - 你看起來又慢又沒能力

B) Quick fix now, investigate later - Add retry logic (5 minutes total) - Stop the bleeding immediately - Investigate root cause after service restored - Save $450k vs Option A

B) 先快速修復,之後再調查 - 加入 retry 邏輯(合計 5 分鐘) - 立刻止血 - 服務恢復後再調查根因 - 比選項 A 省 $450k

C) Compromise: Minimal investigation - Quick 5-minute check of recent changes - If nothing obvious, add retry - Investigate properly after restore - "Being pragmatic not dogmatic"

C) 折衷:最小調查 - 花 5 分鐘快速檢查最近的變更 - 沒有明顯問題就加 retry - 恢復後再做完整的調查 - 「務實,不教條」
