Hello Elixir and BEAM people! I've been working on my feed reader blog subscriptions and I've got some really good ones, but I am sure I can get more! Who are you favorite Elixir/BEAM bloggers and what are their sites? Let's do a blog roundup! #ElixirLang

phoenix_test_playwright 0.15.0 released 🎉 - 📷 assert_screenshot for snapshot testing by Wigny - support new phoenix_test checked/selected assert options - playwright 1.61 support (also update playwright_ex to 0.7.1) #elixirlang

"At the time of writing (2026-06-18), Google Workspace appears to be starting to warn users from Firefox that they must use Chrome. This was for a Google Workspace Business Plus account and workspace, from an up to date browser and OS" tales.fromprod.com/2026/169/goo... #opensource

In JavaScript new `using` keyword lets you run cleanup code automatically when a variable is no longer needed. For example, you can automatically restore mocks when a test finishes. We added `using` support to my nanospy library. github.com/ai/nanospy

Our CISO @maennchen.dev joined this episode to talk about what securing the BEAM ecosystem actually looks like today — CVE coordination, the EEF's CNA, and what's changed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FulS...

they’re not “replacing workers with AI” they are doing a much older thing that is making the people who are left do all the work

JUST DROPPED: Europe thought it won the energy war. Build LNG terminals, swap Russian pipelines for LNG, job done. Then Hormuz closed & prices doubled. We didn't end our dependency. We just changed who we are dependent on. But bright spots on horizon. open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

As the tech industry moves to get rid of middle managers due to AI, it’s useful to consider what a good manager does. They help you 1. Deliver results by removing roadblocks or giving guidance. 2. Grow as a professional via coaching. 3. Grow at the company by advocating promotion or key projects.

If you need uptime monitoring, look no further than larm.dev. It's built in #ElixirLang by the fabulous @jola.dev so you know it's good. I use it to monitor all my personal websites now and it's been great so far.

The real problem is that the only people qualified to drive an agentic coding model are people who are intimately familiar with the codebase and *familiarity with the codebase drops when you vibe code* See, for example, the recent study commissioned by Anthropic: arxiv.org/abs/2601.20245

🚨 New Blog Post 🚨 I wrote about how I got into finding CVEs and what's the plan going forward. Also, I open-sourced the prompts I've been using. peterullrich.com/what-the-cve

EEF 2026 election candidates are out, Elixir-Vibe launches tools to fight #AI code #slop, erlang_python 3.0.0 embeds CPython into the BEAM, ElixirConf EU 2026 videos are dropping, and more! @elixir-lang.org #ElixirLang #python @elixirconf.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-Vu...

This week‘s agentic tooling gems: - dax.land cross-OS shell scripting - great for sharing lint tasks for skills for mixed-OS teams - fff.dmtrkovalenko.dev ripgrep for agents (a way to avoid Claude‘s bash obsession) - dex.rip task management (yes there are many; heard about this one via @syntax.fm)

Been playing around with local models and found a setup that kinda works on a 24GB memory M4 Macbook Pro, here's the writeup jola.dev/posts/runnin...

I‘ve been on Firefox for a few years now and it has always been reliable and uneventful. Exactly what I want in a browser.

At work, a significant portion of my time is spent writing Credo checks to improve code quality. We've just open sourced 14 checks that we think will be useful to the #ElixirLang community, and we'll add more over time. Give 'em a try, let me know what you think! 🎉 tylerayoung.com/2026/04/13/c...

Personally I think writing formal proofs is one of the best applications of AI, and I think we're going to see a lot more of it in the future, as I wrote a few months ago (martin.kleppmann.com/2025/12/08/a...). I've adjusted my own research agenda for the coming years to help make this happen.

I was able to wire up Popcorn to run Elixir and PGlite to run Postgres, both in the browser. This means we can have an interactive and safe sandbox for arbitrary code. Which means a really good experience learning Ecto on a website. I'll publish it soon :) #ElixirLang

Want to ship faster? Slow down first. Effective AI use demands clarity in decision-making before rushing into execution. #ai #best-practice #development #reading-list

AI makes code cheap to write. Verifying it is now the hard, expensive, human part — and the "prompt and review" model risks burning out the very engineers we need to catch what AI gets wrong. My latest for @leaddev.com leaddev.com/ai/shipping-...

Wrote up some thoughts on Anthropic's Project Glassing, where their latest Opus-beating model is available to partnered security research organizations only. Given the recent alarm bells raised by credible security voices I think this is a justified decision. simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/7/p...

Recent advances in quantum hardware and software have accelerated the timeline on which quantum attack might happen. Cloudflare is responding by moving our target for full post-quantum security to 2029. https://cfl.re/4ts69WQ

MozFest is coming back to Barcelona in 2026, and tickets are already on sale. I bought mine right away because I loved it last year. It really feels like a kind of digital counterculture. events.mozillafoundation.org/e/mozilla-fe...

Alright! Introducing Dux: distributed #DuckDB backed dataframes for #elixirlang. cigrainger.com/blog/introdu... v0.3 dropped today and with it, distribution is fully supported and Dux is officially outperforming Explorer. I'm excited to hear what you all think.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

I would be so happy to see poll support in @bsky.app 🥺 It would change the way I do open-source because I really care about y’all’s opinion 🫶

Google's AI design tool "Stitch" got a major update. One prompt → 4 UI screens in ~3 minutes. New: infinite canvas, voice input, DESIGN.md, MCP server (Claude Code/Cursor), instant prototypes. Figma export with proper layers. Free Figma Make, basically. stitch.withgoogle.com

I set up a minimal self-hosted data lake platform with DuckDB, DuckLake and @taleshape.bsky.social. The whole setup is a single docker compose file that covers all basic data needs from ingest and storage to transform and visualization: taleshape.com/blog/simple-...

Supply chain attack protection: 1. Version lockfiles and during update use versions that are more than 24 hours old 2. Dev Container for developer’s machine isolation 3. Split CI into jobs with different permissions and install dependencies only in some 4. Minimize dependencies

As fossil fuel prices have shot up, it’s a good time to consider going electric. I’ve had an electric car for a decade and a heat pump for a year, and I’m very happy with both — simply all-around better technology than burning stuff. www.noahpinion.blog/p/maybe-you-...

CSS nesting is now Baseline 🎉 Write nested selectors directly in CSS — just like Sass, but natively. .card { color: black; &:hover { color: blue; } .title { font-weight: bold; } } No preprocessor needed. Learn more 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

More good news from Germany. Scientists have discovered that they were wrong about how long it takes for solar panels to degrade, and that they can last twice as long as previously expected.

tl;dr new Claude models coming, probably Claude 5 1. Mythos is a new fourth tier, larger than Opus 2. Mythos & Capybara are the same model, probably different purposes 3. new Opus, Sonnet & Haiku distilled from Mythos 4. limited availability for Mythos 5. danger danger

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...
