đź“Ł @couchdb 3.5.0 is here!
We’re excited about: ✨ P-Reads! ✨
A Parallel Reads, or “pread”, is a read from a specific file position… without the “seek” operation.
What’s the impact?
High-concurrency throughput gets a 30% boost! Using multiple (parallel) channels to perform fewer operations leads to impressive #performance gains.

Thanks, Ian. 🙏 Plus Kevin Hoffman talks about empathy and the joy of logging ⚡

benefits in terms of early defect detection, leading to reduced costs and effort in rectifying issues during the
development process. Moreover, [TDD] encourages improved code design and maintainability..." -- Rahman et al 2024

@xameer I've never seen an actual need for sophisticated branch management. If a team thinks they need that, it virtually always is a red flag. There's some deeper dysfunction going on that should be addressed.
@xameer Who said structured branching is important?
@xameer I don't know that it is important.
@xameer I'm afraid I do not understand the question. Not necessarily what?
@xameer GitFlow makes true CI/CD impossible. So if CI/CD is a goal (and it should be) the only option is to ditch GitFlow.
@xameer Both of those are easily accomplished without the complexity of GitFlow.
@0xZogG You'd have to ask the person who wrote the code.
Here's my write-up on what I would do to improve this code:

@mpldr Great observations! The first point is the most important--why trim padding, if it makes the first two decoding methods invalid?
My final solution was to just remove the first two encodings and jump straight to the only one that could possibly work ;)
How many problems or improvements can you spot in this real-world #Go code example?
Hint: It works as intended, so it's not bugs, per se, I'm looking for.
Something cheesy is going on with AI...
