Cut the build time nearly in half by dropping a dependency. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Added 14 tests and immediately caught an off-by-one in the cursor. This is why we write them. #golang
TIL: a Set is faster than an array `.includes` past ~50 items. How did I not know this. #opensource
Shipped the caching layer today — 1 small commits, all green. Reviewable diffs > heroics.
TIL: you can `git worktree` to run two branches at once. How did I not know this.
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day. #opensource
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a stale cache key. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise. #perf
Spent 20 minutes chasing a bug. Root cause: a dangling event listener. Fix was a null check. The classics never miss. #typescript
Cut query time nearly in half by a connection pool. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Postgres + TypeScript is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about. #typescript
