Do you cap retries at 2 or give it a third chance?

LLMs getting stuck in execution loops is such a huge headache when building DB tools.

We had a similar issue with API retries where the agent kept tweaking minor parameters forever. Capping it at two attempts and routing the failure directly to Slack is a solid circuit breaker.

In our setup, we usually allow two retries with an exponential backoff before killing the thread completely.

How do you handle the Slack notification does a developer jump in and manually correct it or just kill the process?

How do you deal with cold outreach reply overload without going crazy?

Thought getting people to reply to outreach emails was going to be the hardest part but site owners actually respond pretty fast.

The real bottleneck turned out to be managing hundreds of back-and-forth threads checking link placement and negotiating terms. Plus going direct ended up way cheaper than agency marketplace rates.

How do you guys manage high-volume email replies when a small team gets flooded?

Client work or your own product: how do you split your week?

I have done client work for years, and it pays the bills. My own product keeps losing the fight for time, because a client deadline always feels more urgent than something only I care about.

Things I have heard or tried: fixed days for each, a protected block every morning before client messages, or taking fewer clients on purpose. Each one breaks at some point, usually in a busy month.
