      A stateless pattern I use to batch telemetry at the edge while driving Cloudflare write costs to zero.

          Cool pattern. Critics will say “falsehoods programmers believe about time” but it’s a cloud service, any time oddity that would break this would also break a lot more important stuff, so it’s fine.

          Ugly code though.

            // env
            QUEUES = [EVEN_QUEUE, ODD_QUEUE]
          
            // producers
            env.QUEUES[hour % 2].send …
          
            // consumer
            env.QUEUES[1 + hour % 2]

              > env.QUEUES[1 + hour % 2]

              // results in index 1 or 2 as js has precedence for */% over +-

              So something like the following, for your desired visual succinctness? ...

              env.QUEUES[hour % 2 ^ 1]

              // results in desired js index 0 or 1

              I wonder if any of you using AI code assistance regularly might tell an old hack like me if your code review tools would have caught such a bug?

            Can you explain the pricing here?
