Whenever I will reach out to classes as solution from now on I’ll think of what @0xfirelight.bsky.social would do if he reviews my code

Find something wrong in code. Fix it they say. No one said anything about updating documentation though.

Nothing better than watching your 1 year old go ham at indoor playground for his first birthday. Just a few more years of innocence before he learns of IEEE 754 floating point standard.

Going through legacy code base and finding stored procedure calls to a database. The nightmare begins. What’s next ? Unnamed db triggers

Folks whats the best way to wire up Amazon SQS with Node.js + Puppeteer to take website screenshots?

Looking for tips on:

Processing messages efficiently
Handling failures + retries
Running this reliably on ECS or Lambda
Anyone done this at scale? Would love blog posts, repos, or war stories!

TIL how to log like a pro ⚙️ (esp. w/ Datadog):
🕒 Use UTC timestamps
🧩 Log in JSON
🔍 Add `app`, `env`, `commit`, `trace_id`
🔥 Stack traces help
🙈 Avoid PII
🧼 Keep fields clean + consistent
🏷️ Tag events (`status:error`, `event:retry`)
Better logs = faster fixes = less pain!
