Dev Log: 2026-06-28

Short summary

Developer shares three concurrent projects: CSS sidebar centering fix using flexbox, a CRM dashboard surfacing hot leads and overdue tasks immediately, and hardening an analytics ingest pipeline to handle messy real-world uploads with missing dates and missing metrics. Key patterns: flex margins shift axes when direction changes, actionable work belongs first in dashboards, and data pipelines must handle chaotic input. Bonus: debugged a metrics summation bug that incorrectly inflated 819 to 163 billion.

• •Centered collapsed sidebar logo via flexbox full-width + zero child margins, no JS needed
• •Built CRM cockpit dashboard prioritizing immediate action (hot leads, overdue follow-ups) over generic views
• •Hardened analytics ingest to handle messy uploads: derived dates from filenames, let users choose aggregation when no numeric measure exists, flagged data quality issues before dashboard
