Migrated the webhook handler from Svelte to Axum. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it. #perf
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
Rewrote the hot path in Elixir. the build time dropped noticeably. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Migrated the auth flow from Axum to Fiber. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.

Added 5 tests and immediately caught a silent JSON.parse throw. This is why we write them.
Redis + Zig is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Wrote docs for the webhook handler that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Wrote docs for the search index that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Wrote docs for the job queue that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
