The retry trap happens when we treat failure as something to repeat through instead of something to understand.

Sometimes retrying is useful. But in real systems, blind retries can hide the real problem, increase load, create duplicate actions, and make failure harder to diagnose.

Good architecture is not just about retrying faster. It is about knowing when to retry, when to fail fast, and when to redesign the flow.
