Reviewed a PR that touched the caching layer — left 2 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
Deleted 305 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #golang
Added 7 tests and immediately caught a missing await. This is why we write them. #webdev
Flaky test finally cornered: it was an unindexed query. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
A failing test you can read beats a passing test you can't. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Deleted 122 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
TIL: Go's `errors.Join` exists and is lovely. How did I not know this.
Deleted 124 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #golang
TIL: you can `git worktree` to run two branches at once. How did I not know this. #python
Cut the build time nearly in half by dropping a dependency. Measured first, then changed one thing. #opensource
