Reviewed a PR that touched the job queue — left 2 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways. #webdev
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
Added 6 tests and immediately caught a truthy check on 0. This is why we write them. #typescript
TIL: a Set is faster than an array `.includes` past ~50 items. How did I not know this.
Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: a float rounding edge case. Fix was a one-line fix. The classics never miss.
TIL: HTTP 429 should send Retry-After and almost nobody does. How did I not know this. #python
Boring migrations are safe migrations. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Wrote docs for streaming responses that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
TIL: Go's `errors.Join` exists and is lovely. How did I not know this. #databases
Added 7 tests and immediately caught an unindexed query. This is why we write them.
