Wrote docs for rate limiting that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
TIL: Postgres partial indexes can cut a table scan to nothing. How did I not know this.
Rewrote the hot path in Rust. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Added 8 tests and immediately caught a race between two writes. This is why we write them.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a timezone assumption. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
TIL: a Set is faster than an array `.includes` past ~50 items. How did I not know this.
esbuild + Zig is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
TIL: SQLite handles way more concurrency than I assumed. How did I not know this. #buildinpublic
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a case-sensitive path on Linux. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Profile before you optimize — every time. Relearned this the hard way again today.
