Cut query time nearly in half by precomputing at build time. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Kubernetes + Rust is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Added 17 tests and immediately caught a truthy check on 0. This is why we write them.
Reviewed a PR that touched pagination — left 5 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
Deleted 320 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #golang

Rewrote the hot path in Swift. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #testing
