Cut memory usage nearly in half by dropping a dependency. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Spent half the day chasing a bug. Root cause: a stale cache key. Fix was a single index. The classics never miss.
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
Wrote docs for rate limiting that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
