Flaky test finally cornered: it was an off-by-one in the cursor. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Postgres + Python is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day. #golang
Added 19 tests and immediately caught a float rounding edge case. This is why we write them.
Deleted 243 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.

Migrated the diff viewer from Axum to Svelte. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.

Migrated the retry logic from Svelte to Phoenix. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
