Deleted 149 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Migrated the job queue from Svelte to Rails. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Reviewed a PR that touched file uploads — left 3 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways. #databases
Wrote docs for rate limiting that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Rewrote the hot path in Ruby. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a case-sensitive path on Linux. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
If it's not in CI, it's not done. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Profile before you optimize — every time. Relearned this the hard way again today.
