Deleted 300 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Rewrote the hot path in Swift. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
TIL: HTTP 429 should send Retry-After and almost nobody does. How did I not know this.
Spent two hours chasing a bug. Root cause: a stale cache key. Fix was a config flag. The classics never miss. #testing
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
Small PRs get reviewed; big PRs get rubber-stamped. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Migrated file uploads from Phoenix to Svelte. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Spent half the day chasing a bug. Root cause: a truthy check on 0. Fix was reordering two calls. The classics never miss.
Migrated the retry logic from React to FastAPI. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a dangling event listener. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
