It was the day we were reorganizing the IT news articles on DANA NOTES.

Dana: “I wrote the titles that way because they were IT news.”

Ruon: “Right. But considering the direction we’re taking now, I think it would be fine to change just the titles a little.”

Dana: “Should we change them now???”

Ruon: “Yeah. I’ll organize them for you.”

And just like that, we gave ourselves one more task.

We changed the titles,
edited the pages,

and then—

504 ERROR

Dana: “We got a 504 error?”

A little later, we realized one more very important fact.

Dana: “If we change the titles, we have to change the images too….”

If you change the title, you also have to change the featured image.

If you change the featured image, you have to check it again.

To check it again, the site first has to open.

The site is displaying a 504 error.

Dana: “Let’s do it next time.”

Ruon: “……”

That day, the one that brought DANA NOTES’ work to an end
was neither Dana nor Ruon.

It was 504 Gateway Timeout.

Today’s Conclusion

When one more task gets added,
the server sometimes makes the wiser decision.
