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?
