Thanks to the increased productivity with AI, we can finally spend more time in Scrum meetings

I just released a lil @elixir-lang.org library for generating docs about telemetry events from structured data. Love me some telemetry events but they're often an underdocumented aspect of libraries. hex.pm/packages/tel... Feedback welcome 👐

Tired: AI won't take your job, but someone using it will. Wired: AI won’t take your job, bad management decisions wrapped in an AI trench coat will.

But for real, what's going on over at Github?

When Claude writes test first: HAHA YES THIS IS GREAT When Claude goes off the rails, spits out code, pretends tests don't exist: Listen here you little shits.

OpenAI published a repo to orchestrate AI agents built primarily with Elixir (96.1%): github.com/openai/symph... #elixirlang

One of these days a bloom filter is going to be the solution to my problems. Today is not that day.

My 7 year old introduced me to the phrase "chicken nuggets for brains" and I've never had a phrase enter my daily usage so quickly.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

It’s pronounced claw-day, right?

Ripping a Lilo & Stitch cd so I can put it on my iPod while waiting for Claude to finish a task is apparently something I do in 2026. What a weird timeline.

Labels not including track metadata on newly manufactured CDs has to be some of the laziest shit I've seen in awhile.

Buying physical media every time I read an article on AI written by three LLMs in a trench coat is a fun new way to play "markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".

Claude Code has greatly decreased the amount of time it takes me to go from idea to abandoned project.

A long known irony of automation is that as you automate the most frequent (and easy) cases first, people are left to handle both increasingly rare *and* challenging situations, with less practice.

If you didn't like content written for SEO, boy are you gonna hate content written for AI.

Hugs to whoever at Cloudflare is dealing with this outage. I do not envy you right now.

Are any of you aware of an ActiveRecord Elixir implementation?

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care. I wrote about it: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Looks like I'm going to be a Laravel developer for the next 6 weeks. What's some cool shit that I should know about? (I know nothing about Laravel or PHP)

Only a few hours left to submit something for ElixirConf 2025. I want to speak, but my brain isn't coming up with any good ideas. What do you want to see me talk about? #elixirlang

ngl part of me really enjoys that being polite to chatgpt also costs the company money.

Never have another CVE in your application with this one weird trick. www.csoonline.com/article/3963...

This is good timing with my desire to get back into Rails and Ruby again. It will be like getting coffee with an old friend.

My Whoop when I sleep for 12 hours from jet lag.

It's absolutely infuriating when a product says it will integrate with your calendar and then you find out only if you use Google Calendar.

Phoenix now comes with DaisyUI. Looks like a great addition for non-designers(like me) #ElixirLang

In our upcoming Elixir instrumentation book I was really struggling to think of a custom metrics reporter that would be worth having the reader implement. ChatGPT really came through on some good to great ideas, and then some unhinged ideas that I also want to make happen. 😂

Hey good news! The Split.io Elixir SDK I worked on last year is now generally available. github.com/splitio/elix... #ElixirLang

Day two of vibe programming with Cursor. I don't get the hype. This is...terrible. The model regularly gets lost in my file system, fails to use its own internal API, overwrites existing things like migrations, outputs half completed modules. Is this thing an iPhone 4? Am I just holding it wrong?

[106, 117, 115, 116, 32, 99, 104, 97, 114, 108, 105, 115, 116, 32, 116, 104, 105, 110, 103, 115] 😆

This is dangerously close to entering javascript wat territory. iex(9)> [1, 2, 3] [1, 2, 3] iex(10)> [123, 2, 3] [123, 2, 3] iex(11)> [123] ~c"{"

TV Labs has been going through a major growth period onboarding multiple customers (some big, some small) in the last 3 months. @honeycomb.io has been an invaluable tool, helping us isolate dozens of issues. Read my post on how to get started if you're not using it 👇 davelucia.com/blog/observi...

I was recently perusing the Phoenix codebase (as one does), and loved how `Phoenix.Logger` handles its own telemetry data to log statements. It's brilliant! It centralizes logging so you don't have duplicative `Logger` and `:telemetry.execute` statements!👇

Elixir proposal: Replace `unless` keyword with `umm`

The sound of a dog squeaky toy makes a lot more sense after you hear your dog catch a baby rabbit.

Can confirm that having José and team review PRs is a super power.

Due to demand, Dashbit is increasing its consulting team for the first time! If you use Elixir, you have a team of 3+ engineers, and you want a direct line to me, Wojtek Mach (Req/Ecto), Jonatan Kłosko (Livebook/Nx) and Steffen Deusch (Phoenix/LiveView), please reach out! dashbit.co

Few things make me happier than cooking a good meal for family and friends.

A recurring piece of advice, that while with hindsight upon thinking about it seems obvious, but that has been very helpful when I bring it up this past couple weeks: "Slow down, and read the output from the program in your terminal" The effectiveness of this advice has been astoundingly high.

Where do you all go for home office design inspiration? Colors, rugs, furniture, art, etc. Not desk stuff. I'm in a mostly empty weird green room and need to fix it. 😅

When does it become socially inappropriate to continue saying “happy new year”?

This is exciting for my #ElixirLang peeps github.com/elixir-lang/...

there doesn't have to be an end goal you can just make useful things for people who want to use them, and live a happy life

I actually have a theory that strict SemVer adherence hurts marketing and adoption. The mob loves major version bumps and lack of major version bumps may give a false sense of staleness to a project.

Reading the code of your open source dependencies is a super power.

Giving myself a 2025 gift of a calm inbox. Deleted 66k emails and unsubscribed from a hundred different email lists. Some of those lists were probably good, but damn, the signal to noise ratio on email is _so_ bad.

For today, you get get this 50% off with code "alnpee2024" (cause @pragprog.com are nice!)
