Two new pull requests landed today in service of Sales History product search. I opened PR for LRX-37723 to add includeDeleted support to the suggest query resolver in graphter. While working through that, it became clear that a companion change was needed on the typey side as well, so I created LRX-37740 to add include_deleted support to the suggest endpoint. These things have a way of revealing themselves in sequence: you fix the GraphQL layer and then realize the underlying service hasn't caught up yet. Better to catch it now than discover it when a merchant tries to search for a deleted product and gets nothing back.
Peer Feedback - Christine
What is Christine doing well?
In my first weeks on the team, Christine went out of her way to make sure I could actually get things done. She ran a thorough onboarding session and then followed it up in DMs by walking me through how to navigate the monolith DB, including links to the right migration classes and screenshots, which she moved to a direct message specifically so she could show everything clearly. When she reviewed my Makefile PR (#198), she wrote genuinely useful, structured feedback and even noted she used Copilot to make sure her comments were easy to understand, which is the kind of care that makes code review feel collaborative rather than adversarial. She did all of this starting at 4 AM her local time, which says a lot.
What should Christine do more or less of?
I would love to see Christine be more upfront at the start of async conversations about her availability window. Because of the timezone gap, I sometimes was not sure if a question I sent would get a response in an hour or the next day, and a quick note like "I'm on until X, then offline" would help me decide whether to wait or unblock myself another way. It is a small habit that would make the async dynamic a lot smoother, especially for newer teammates who do not yet know her schedule well.
