Redis + C++ is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Added 14 tests and immediately caught a dangling event listener. This is why we write them. #databases
Wrote docs for the retry logic that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done. #webdev
Rewrote the hot path in TypeScript. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #rustlang
esbuild + Rust is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Cut cold-start time nearly in half by streaming instead of buffering. Measured first, then changed one thing. #testing
