Postgres + Python is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Wrote docs for rate limiting that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done. #golang
Added 22 tests and immediately caught a truthy check on 0. This is why we write them.
Rewrote the hot path in Zig. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Spent 20 minutes chasing a bug. Root cause: an off-by-one in the cursor. Fix was three lines. The classics never miss.
Rewrote the hot path in C++. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Reviewed a PR that touched the caching layer — left 4 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
Migrated the auth flow from Axum to Svelte. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it. #devops
Deleted 239 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Cut p99 latency nearly in half by a connection pool. Measured first, then changed one thing. #devops
