When your app can't take back a permission it already gave
Tauri's asset-protocol scope has an allow_directory and no revoke - so switching vaults became a restart, trading instant switching for a security property that actually holds.

Cleaning up a quarter's worth of dead code in one PR
Nine dead Postiz columns, a memoization where Rails.cache would have defeated the encryption, three Ruby filters moved into SQL, and unreachable code that wasn't.
Development
Bootstrapping a shared affiliate-link library across two sites
Compliance by construction: a remark plugin that fails the build when an affiliate link ships without its disclosure, packaged the same way as the shared blog components.
Development

Analytics that asks first: building an opt-in-only tracking library
The tracker script doesn't exist until you consent. Not disabled. Not paused. Absent. That's the whole design of this opt-in-only analytics library.
Development
Building locale-aware post scanning for blog-manager
Adding i18n pipeline plumbing to a Rails blog syndication app, and the partial-migration bug my own code review caught before it shipped.
