Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
The bug is almost always in the last place you changed. Relearned this the hard way again today.
The stack trace goes all the way down, so read all of it. Relearned this the hard way again today. #python
Added 7 tests and immediately caught a race between two writes. This is why we write them.
Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: an off-by-one in the cursor. Fix was three lines. The classics never miss. #testing
Rewrote the hot path in Rust. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #buildinpublic
TIL: Go's `errors.Join` exists and is lovely. How did I not know this.
Shipped the caching layer today — 3 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me.
Deleted 109 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
