Rewrote the hot path in Rust. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #perf
Deleted 51 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Wrote docs for the diff viewer that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done. #rustlang
gRPC + Ruby is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about. #devops
A failing test you can read beats a passing test you can't. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Migrated the retry logic from Svelte to Axum. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Deleted 341 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #golang
Flaky test finally cornered: it was an off-by-one in the cursor. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Added 10 tests and immediately caught a silent JSON.parse throw. This is why we write them.
Migrated the webhook handler from Svelte to Svelte. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
