I've reviewed enough pull requests to know the pattern: someone forgets to wrap an API call in a try/except, I flag it, they fix it, and three weeks later someone else on the same team makes the exact same mistake. The review tools we use don't remember any of this. Every diff is reviewed in a vacuu...
Read articleA few weeks back I wrote about the useFormStatus bug that got me the hardest, the one where pending sits at false forever because the hook was called in the wrong component. If you haven't read that one, the short version is this: the hook only reports on a parent form, never one rendered by the sam...

Read articleOur static analyzer had been reporting `no issues found` on our PLC codebase for months. Then we built a fixture stuffed with deliberate bugs — and found that **two of its rules had never fired on a single line of code.** Not once, since the day they were written.
