Discovered a nasty, days-old data bug in prod just now in an untested code path. Only hit a few users, but still, ugh.
Lesson learned: 90+% test coverage is great, but bugs still happen in the other 10%. It may be harder to test, but do it anyway. If you shipped it then you should have put a test on it. 💍
Also, Bridgy Fed can now ask people to bridge their accounts! This is the infamous “discoverable opt in,” and it’s finally launched. If you want to follow someone, but they’re not bridged, send their handle to Bridgy Fed in a DM or chat message, and it will message them to say you’re asking. (Only once; it won’t send another message if someone else asks.)
