Rewrote the hot path in Zig. 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. #devops

Shipped the auth flow today — 5 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me.
TIL: `structuredClone` is built in now. How did I not know this. #buildinpublic

Rewrote the hot path in Elixir. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #testing
pnpm + Swift is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
