**Problem**: Holding database connection during HTTP call

"This is completely broken. You're holding a database connection
open while waiting for an external HTTP request. Under load, you'll
exhaust the connection pool in seconds.

Did you even test this with more than one concurrent user?

The correct approach is:
1. Fetch data from DB
2. Close connection
3. Make HTTP call
4. Open new connection if needed

This is Connection Management 101. Why wasn't this caught in review?"

**Problem**: Tests only verify happy path

"Look at this test suite. 15 tests, 14 happy path scenarios.
Where's the validation testing? Edge cases? Failure modes?

This is RAW. You're testing if code runs, not if it's correct.

Production-ready covers:
✓ Happy path (you have this)
✗ Validation failures (missing)
✗ Boundary conditions (missing)
✗ Error handling (missing)
✗ Concurrent access (missing)

You wouldn't ship code with 12% coverage. Don't merge tests
with 12% scenario coverage."

**Problem**: ISTQB certification required for QE roles

"ISTQB tests if you memorized terminology, not if you can test software.

Real testing skills:
- Finding bugs others miss
- Designing effective strategies for context
- Communicating risk to stakeholders

ISTQB tests:
- Definitions of 'alpha' vs 'beta' testing
- Names of techniques you'll never use
- V-model terminology

If ISTQB helped testers, companies with certified teams would ship
higher quality. They don't."
