Week 951

It's Week 951! Will posted this on our internal team slack, and it was such a great window into our day-to-day that we're reposting it here.

I had a ton of fun Friday! It was one of the rare days where I got to work with everyone on the engineering team.

Ted is implementing a cool two-way data binding where you can type a sku or search for a product and data flows both ways. It supports multiple workflows for that client's team.
Ian kept pulling on a bug and found out we were creating duplicate users after they changed their email and wrote a fix and 5 line spec to keep the behavior in check. I refactored that code a couple of months ago and accidentally kept the bug because there were no specs!
Jace had to debug some weird JS and CSS loading issues and we got to reminisce on old paradigms like putting your script tags at the end of your body and we saw a sprite map implemented in there!
Ashley figured out how to load your application JS and CSS in Grover in development and production when using Webpacker. This is awesome, and I imagine using it in lots of projects moving forward (even without Webpacker). Seriously, it’s blog post technique material!
Nate wrote a Github action to clean up our DigitalOcean image repository. There’s some good peace of mind knowing the robots are doing work for us.

You all are doing awesome work!
