What I've Been Working On: August
Started at Inngest and began my running journey.
Work
This month I joined Inngest1! It is a relatively small but growing company that’s full of some of the smartest people with which I’ve ever worked. I’m still getting my bearings and learning the codebase, but I’ve been able to push my first couple of changes:
- docs: remove
--yesfromvercel link - chore: sort OtelSpans deterministically in GraphQL
- fix: only trigger 1 onFailure call on parallel step failure
I can’t tell you quite how cool it is to be able to link to my actual code, even if those examples are all teensy tiny at the moment.
One fun consideration is that Inngest is explicitly used for cases like someone pausing a function for up to a year, which means that any changes I make need to be backwards compatible enough for those paused functions to still run flawlessly. I’ve obviously had to deal with legacy code and systems before, and backwards compatibility is always a concern, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had to think about it this much and I think it’s neat.
Life
Outside of work, I’ve been trying to get better at running. My cardio isn’t horrible because I enjoy cycling, but it’s far from great. As silly as it is, I’ve been inspired by the fact that I absolutely could not finish a final of the MTV’s The Challenge. Luckily a friend recently moved and I was able to acquire a nice treadmill on the cheap!
