The bug is almost always in the last place you changed. Relearned this the hard way again today. #opensource
Cut memory usage nearly in half by a connection pool. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Shipped the search index today — 3 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me.

TIL: you can `git worktree` to run two branches at once. How did I not know this.
