Implicit dependency anxiety

Explicit jitter in background jobs = mis-tuned queue concurrency. Fix the concurrency. Let the scheduler balance load instead of relying on random backoff.

Good code is boring and predictable. It prioritizes readability and maintainability, ensuring minimal cognitive overhead. It favors clarity and explicitness. It minimizes dependencies and codebase jumping.

Looking for new #ElixirLang projects (8 years Elixir, 12 Rails, 18 in software focusing on SaaS).

I value pragmatic test suites, minimal deps, and readable, maintainable code.

Remote (UTC+4). Let’s build something great—DM me!

Please never ever do this in your code! Be kind to people. Your karma will thank you later.

Working on an old web app codebase (like 13+ years old). When I start typing a # FIXME comment, Copilot instantly adds:

# FIXME: This file is a mess. It needs to be refactored and cleaned up.
