Not quite.

while people_paying_me_money():
    while not error:
        code_per_rfc_2795()
    while error:
        post_to_python_list()
        while sucker_count < 3:
            if time_elapsed >= one_hour: # level-triggered, not edge-triggered
                bump_post()

You have to include the coding phase. How else would he get into an error state?
