Sure, we shouldn't have been so busy to not support our teammates.

Still, I don't consider it a big failure. A lot of people go through life using technologies without really knowing how they work. He could have very well drag-n-dropped the soap endpoint and never learned a thing about soap. Now that he knows a bit about it he may alter his decisions in the future knowing the guts e.g. 'don't do that because it won't work through soap' etc.

Fair enough. I was mostly concerned that it doesn't become a 'haha stupid interns' thread.
