.@StarbeamOne Daily Status* Current Story: v2 Quality Assurance Passes: Caching Notes: I started testing the new caching invalidation components yesterday, and while most of them worked as expected, several did not. After investigation, it seems I completely missed the mark on how these should be implemented. 😅 So, it is going to take another pass at these, and that will be my focus today. #DailyDeveloper #Status #BuildingInPublic * The attached image was AI-generated via #Midjourney with the prompt `mixed media , depicting A massive orbital shipyard where futuristic vessels are actively being constructed, surrounded by swirling gas clouds and stellar dust, illuminated by bright bold beautiful contrasting glowing neon colors., create with ultra-fine ink filigree linework and thin color shift metallic paint color washes with no drips or runs , seamless transitions , extraordinary illustrative photorealism , exquisite detailing , layering of colors for depth and shading --ar 9:16`












.@StarbeamOne Daily Status* Current Story: v2 Quality Assurance Focus Notes: Yesterday was spent on improving our new caching components for v2. This is sort of a new area for me, so I am still learning the ropes. The primary area of concern is that the cache will invalidate, but more records will get flushed than desired. So, I spent some time making the invalidation more specific. I am not entirely happy with the solution, but it's "good enough" for now. I got all the endpoints applied with this solution, and today I will be focused on testing them out to make sure they work as expected. After this, there are still a few more points of focus I need to investigate and implement if necessary. One is how we serve up files, and there may be a more efficient way of doing this so that it's pulling from our storage account and not our web server account. The other is looking into our new gifting API to see if we can combine it with our existing beneficiaries API. These tasks should be the focus for this week. #DailyDeveloper #Status #BuildingInPublic * The attached image was AI-generated via #Midjourney with the prompt `An awesome epic profile background for social media, featuring a scene in space with a space station and a cool starship, based on the series Expanse, with a hint of The Fifth Element, prominently featuring bright bold contrasting glowing neon colors --ar 16:9`








.@StarbeamOne Daily Status* Current Story: v2 Quality Assurance Passes: Mobile Notes: Well, after about 6 weeks of punching myself in my own face with my own code that I wrote, I am happy to say that it's satisfactorily less face-punchy than before. 😁 I am about 90% confident in the code now, which is better than it was when I first started these passes, and mobile now works well to boot. I still cannot believe I overlooked mobile, but it's been fixed, and now we can move on to the next fire. Another solid day of progress yesterday. I have been doing well with momentum, and I hope to continue it today. I got all the product types tested in mobile and everything (finally) looks good there. So that is now complete, and I started to attend to -- and fixed -- issues that I have been on my TODO list for many months now. That is also a good feeling. So yeah, a little less face-punchy right now. I hope to build upon this going forward. 🤞 There is one last quality-related issue, and it's a bit of a big one, saving the most difficult for last. I actually did try to address it earlier and decided to pass on it. We have caching now (works pretty well), but it's too broad when it invalidates. I need to make it so that it only clears particular subsets of data when changes happen to an artist and their inventory. I will look into this further today. After this, we are in the home stretch. I have a few more features I want to implement, and then we resume data migrations. I am feeling a September or October release at this time. #DailyDeveloper #Status #BuildingInPublic * The attached image was AI-generated via #Midjourney with the prompt `An epic feature shot deep of space, prominently featuring bold, bright, colorful, glowing, contrasting neon colors --ar 16:9`
