ah yes...I should also post about OUR book. the 2nd edition of "Observability Engineering" is now available for download.. and you can download it for free on the honeycomb site. this was supposed to be an update, and ended up being a total rewrite (& then some). 😅 www.honeycomb.io/blog/the-sec...

Coding is now feeding an amoeba while ensuring it doesn't grow beyond a respectable PR.

The Elixir job market would be bigger if newbies started with Ash + Codex etc. instead of being overwhelmed by Elixir syntax, immutable data structures, and genservers, and returning to Python and anything else.

Sadly I understand this post.

Using event modeling to implement agentic systems just makes sense. Practitioners are reinventing event modeling without realizing it. www.linkedin.com/posts/martin...

Devs “reviewing” code = speed reading output from AI review agents of which humans understand less and less each passing day

Do you know the exact permissions that each role in your application should have and how that cascades down the onion? If you have more than two roles (user + admin), you probably only have a gut feeling. We only learn the real requirements when real users collide with pure imagination. Use Ash!

Telling models and agents what to do is not coding. Stopping them from consuming all memory, disk, and CPU is, not to mention avoiding dropping every database it has access to.

Spec writing isn’t the skill you think it is. Time is running out.

I'm sure this will be a fun read.. despite handing most of my agency off to Claude, I still give a damn about my so-called computer science degree and 45 years of meandering - I mean "conducting experiments".. I guess. leanpub.com/starlings

There's a chance in this one universe that OpenClaw etc. could free us from drudgery. Of course, there will be good and bad. But on the good side, if you're routinely surprised by operational failures like files that should be arriving but are not arriving, and nobody noticing for days, ...

Even without Fable 5, superpowers brainstorming was already mostly a waste of time and tokens.

Developers treat user-directed messages such as "You can't do that because.." like exceptions when they are far from exceptional .. and a top-level exception handler decides to be "secure" by removing the exception text and returning a generic error message like "Try again." Fucking hell.

Oooooooohhhhhhh ==> Upgraded 1 outdated package elixir 1.19.5 -> 1.20.1

I'll say this once and never again: do not, do not, do not allow enums to be null. null/undefined for an enum means "do not include in filters." Don't give NULL any other meaning. That state you think is a second class citizen won't end up that way.

If I named something Fable, it would be a nod to REM.

The most valuable part of what we do is the Rube Goldberg setup.

Getting an LLM/agent to write and execute Lua on the fly seems to be the thing to do now

I need a Postgres schema guide for dummies. Something that would remind me to use "defer" with foreign keys and to avoid using simpleton names for enums since they share the same namespace with tables etc. unless you put them in their own schema which IMO is overkill.

AshAI exposes Ash actions to LLMs via MCP. Great for “create a Todo”, less great for “summarize overdue todos by category”. AshLua adds API discovery and Lua execution so LLMs can compose workflows across your resources. ash-lua.hexdocs.pm/integrate-wi... #elixirlang

Many people and things do and do not exist because of what happened on this day in 1944. My grandfather wasn’t asked to be a fish in a barrel. And thanks to Turing, the Allies knew the Nazis took the bait. Thus, this post into the digital oblivion. A butterfly floats overhead. 🦋

1) Website or app? If you have no users, don't build an app. Fighting the censors is a complete waste of time. 2) If app needs to store information, send it to the server as an event. Stop using CRUD. 3) On the server side, protect your data by enforcing invariants in transactions. Use Ash.

I know there's a bigger issue that infinite scroll addresses, but if you're going to do pagination this way, please please please put it above the table so I don't have to scroll to the bottom to get to them.

There are footguns and then there are footguns

Along the lines of "AI should not code for me but it sure as fuck should clean my toilets," remember that you can tell Claude Code to fix the PR description after you renamed everything.

Team agent or skill?

You have to be old to use Sourcetree but it’s still the best when combined with a good visual diffmerge like Beyond Compare. I wouldn’t dare modify any repo without them. GitHub diff is beyond awful. And sure, I also use lazygit.

Anyone who thinks they don't need at least 1 TB on a MacBook hasn't looked at their ~/Library directory lately.

If your business is more of a service than software, pivot now and replace your UX with intelligent messaging first, software second.

When I have to code in TypeScript (The horror! The horror!) and the task is more complex than a SQL statement, I reach for dead-simple polling and BullMQ. bullmq.io

AI speeds up the POC which gets people interested enough to provide feedback which usually veers the UX and backend in a different direction. After that, it’s a big clean up job changing all the terrible names that AI invented. And then there’s the code itself. Use Ash!

I understand the sentiment that using an AI assistant is not real coding. But if you think not using Ash is somehow "real coding," you're leaving a lot of functionality on the table for no reason other than purity.

I am a Very Slow Learner. I have decided to print AI designs and mark them up with a pen. I don't think we should always use Superpowers Brainstorming since Claude's planner is getting better all the time. Superpowers can eat a lot of tokens and provide little additional benefit.

All these frameworks that sell themselves as Not React are mostly in danger of AI coders that know React well enough for most people to get by. They should do their homework and at least use an existing design system and install Storybook if only for nostalgia.
