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] 😆

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!)

Is anyone aware of something like runelixir.com/welcome but for Phoenix? #ElixirLang

"From upcoming Elixir 1.18 > For example, you can invoke IEx.configure(auto_reload: true) and IEx will automatically reload modules changed elsewhere, either by a separate terminal or your IDE. This is beautiful! 😍 #ElixirLang" @hugobarauna.com

My heart says steak and bourbon but my head knows it’s actually the kid’s leftovers and coffee.

I've deleted more value than all the NFTs in the world.

In my ~15 years of seeing people write up/down style database migrations, I have _never_ seen someone run a down command in production. Am I alone in that?

In a strange turn of events I actually advocated for adding a log today. This cold must be worse than I thought.

This is my yearly reminder that turkey is trash meat and you should cook a wellington instead.

I want to share something I built for the Elixir community: elixirevents.net ✨ I want to make it easier to find events like conferences and meetups, to help the community grow. Anyone can contribute, events are only visible with admin approval. For feature requests or feedback please let me know! 🙏

Hello #ElixirLang folks ✌️ If you're using Zed as an editor, i put my tasks file to fire up the Phoenix Server a bit easier and faster - at least imho 🙂 - in a gist gist.github.com/sebastianbac... Feel free to fork & add your useful tasks or hit me up with questions if you have some 🙂✌️

If you want to positively impact adoption of #ElixirLangwrite more abstractions. Abstract away OTP but allow for power users to customize if they need. Write the simple things that too many neckbeards have said "you can roll your own".

Does anyone have a working example/gist of using the otel Erlang metrics implementation? I know it's labeled as experimental, but I'm fed up with other solutions. #elixirlang

Just booked our 6 year old's first European trip. We'll be in Edinburgh for a week this March. Anyone have recommendations on things we should do/see with him?

A running list of the best 10/10 experimentally processed coffee that I've had. These are the roasters you should follow and grab these bags if you see them.

Headed to CodeBeam NYC this morning. Who am I going to see there?
