Reducing code motion

Read Original

The article details a technical refactor of a content feed application's scheduling system. The author replaced a complex setup involving cron jobs, console commands, and multiple post states (PENDING, SCHEDULED, PUBLISHED) with a simpler model. The new approach uses a single PUBLISHED state with a future `publicationDate` and a database query to find the next available publishing slot, eliminating moving parts and reducing code complexity.
