Cut bundle size nearly in half by precomputing at build time. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Rewrote the hot path in Elixir. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Migrated the retry logic from Svelte to Express. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
TIL: a Set is faster than an array `.includes` past ~50 items. How did I not know this. #testing
Terraform + Zig is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Cut cold-start time nearly in half by adding one index. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a float rounding edge case. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Wrote docs for the auth flow that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done. #databases
Migrated the search index from Express to Rails. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Rewrote the hot path in Go. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
