It’s hard when you hit an endpoint that hits another endpoint, because technically the first request IS a 200. No right or wrong way as long as they are consistent and document it clearly imo

This is why I write down the questions I’m trying to answer in a text doc, e.g:

Where is this network call comming from? …/some-api-call.js Why do you think it’s causing a 403?

• I am authenticating correctly
• the object seems to exist in s3
• the bucket name is wrong

Etc. So if I lose my thought (all the time), I know exactly what and why I was doing it. Also stops you from re-investigating things you forget
