I’ve never had this happen before! A Postgres index got corrupted in dev.

I’m not sure when it broke, it may have been an OS update or a Postgres update, but logins to this app stopped working which uses a lower(email) index.

I had to run a `REINDEX TABLE CONCURRENTLY users` command to fix it

That was a fun one to debug 🫠

I started my own pastebin solution a few years ago to share snippets with my colleagues. I ordered a VPS, deployed Sticky Notes and PostgreSQL. I wrote a client in Perl (for learning purpose) and my manager wrote the client in Go. It's easy to use and it was fun. We started to share snippets then more and more people did the same.

From day 1, the service was a side project without any guarantee of availability and security, even if I'm not crazy, it's not open on the internet and it runs on our own infrastructure.

I put a joke on the front page. But who cares? We use a CLI tool anyway. We almost never reach the front page. It's funny to see newcomers wondering what is the meaning of the mysterious phrase on this awesome service. They don't even know that I'm the one "managing" the service (it runs by itself in reality).

But today, the unprofessional joke is gone. The service will soon be handed over another team because it's their job. RIP my little successful pastebin ⚰️
