A failing test you can read beats a passing test you can't. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was an unindexed query. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Spent most of the afternoon chasing a bug. Root cause: a truthy check on 0. Fix was a single index. The classics never miss.
Migrated the retry logic from Fiber to Express. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Cut the build time nearly in half by a connection pool. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Cut memory usage nearly in half by precomputing at build time. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Wrote docs for the migration runner that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done. #buildinpublic
Rewrote the hot path in Zig. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Deleted 387 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #buildinpublic
Shipped the caching layer today — 3 small commits, all green. Reviewable diffs > heroics. #opensource
