Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
Migrated the diff viewer from Svelte to Phoenix. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Reviewed a PR that touched the retry logic — left 5 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
Delete code before you add code. Relearned this the hard way again today. #golang

Reviewed a PR that touched pagination — left 5 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
Migrated pagination from Svelte to Rails. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.

Deleted 130 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Cut the build time nearly in half by lazy-loading the module. Measured first, then changed one thing. #testing
