terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

A person I know (and who is? was? a good professional al) left an AI-generated comment under my LinkedIn post. Full-on AI slop. I asked: why do this? He replied. It’s because of “engagement.” People are burning their profession al reputation, paying for AI tools, for nothing

I'm almost there it's so pretty!! 😭 this is the first time I've made extensive use of complex numbers in shader code, which has been fun! it's an analytic 2D lighting system through piecewise conformal maps representing angular light/"sky" exposure, which means you get fully analytic penumbras!

I was not prepared for how good the soundtrack is on @tylerglaiel.com and @edmundm.bsky.social 's Mewgenics. Just wait until you get to the tune with some singing... woah.

5 concerts you’ve seen with women lead singers: Bjork Feist Céu Little Dragon Caroline Polachek Wishlist: Fiona Apple, Joanna Newsom

such a good mobile ux with great use of sound(!) for user action feedback - rarely seen these days ❤️

"So far, the only bugs we've seen in our Gleam codebase are mistakes in business logic - nothing that would actually crash in production," says Georges Boris, Chief Design Officer at Uncover. Read the full case study: gleam.run/case-studies...

gleam.run/case-studies... Recently had a lovely chat with @lpil.uk and Ed Kelly about how and why we're using @gleam.run at Uncover. This case study is the child of this conversation! Working with Gleam on a daily basis has been a pleasure! 🙂

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.

Gleam Brasil has just launched 🇧🇷 with the goal of “promoting Gleam in Brazil by creating high-quality content, tutorials, and articles in Portuguese”. The organizers have already set up a GitHub org to centralize their efforts: github.com/gleam-br

After working with Elm for so many years, its kinda funny when I realise my normal is the exception for most people... These days, even when working with different langs (Gleam, Elixir, TS, Odin), I always architecture things in a way this _mostly_ remains true (but not really).

Enquanto você dormia, os bolsonaristas colocaram no papel esse descalabro aqui, que pretendem aprovar no Congresso com prioridade👇🤨 (via @camarotedacpi.bsky.social)

I often want to write about functional programming and what it's really about, but I can never write something better than what @krisajenkins.bsky.social wrote in his "What is functional programming?". (available in writing or in many conference talks on YouTube) blog.jenkster.com/2015/12/what...

This thread does an amazing job at exemplifying how LLMs will create a poor generation of students (and thinkers)

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

I never related to a work+passion+burnout talk as much as I did to @freya.bsky.social here. "here I'm sitting having turned all of my hobbies into work" "this _is_ what I love doing so I shouldn't be stressed by it, right?" Thanks for sharing that. youtu.be/1o73moRXLAA?...

Alongside the rest of my team I've been hit by layoffs. I'd be grateful for help finding a new place to apply my skills at! 7y of professional Elm experience; would also be comfortable in Haskell, TypeScript, Erlang/Elixir/Gleam, OCaml, Kotlin, Scala email: [email protected] Many thanks for RTs!

Seems I'm on the hunt for a new job as of today. Not what I was expecting, but it is what it is. If anyone is looking, feel free to hit me up!

If you can, sponsor Louis on GitHub. He is doing a great job of evolving a new programming language that runs in the BEAM: Gleam. github.com/lpil #GleamLang

Lovely content, lovely format :)

This one is for the Portuguese speakers! Participei desse podcast para falar um pouco sobre @gleam.run na uncover.co ! Também falamos sobres outros tópicos como Lustre, Fearless Refactoring e até um pouco sobre David Lynch! 😁 Obrigado pelo convite @adolfont.github.io e @herminiotorres.github.io

I've seen some people recommending Hackernoon as the best place to post your content these days. "Oh nice! Don't know this one - let me check it out." For real folks - how is this acceptable? People should be AFRAID of anything looking like this.

Vamos gravar um episódio do Elixir em Foco com o Gabriel Pereira no fim do mês. Já gravamos com Georges Boris (Uncover), com José Valim (Dashbit) e nesta segunda gravamos com Ana Dubas e Thiago Zattar (MeetRox)

I'm kinda addicted to talks and interviews. A pattern I've noticed tied to highly self-centered "thought leaders" is saying something absolutely debatable and following with "it's an obvious thing that nobody is thinking of" (except them). Its the "well, actually..." of monologues. Please don't.

I don't use words like 'awesome' lightly, but this is it. Pure joy, and it only gets more joyous the more you explore! floor796.com

Felt his departure deeply today. Not many of us creatively thinking and expressing the "subtle" these days. No market focus, no mysticism bs - just pure feeling and intuition expressed through art.

"An interpretation of the Pac-Man game, written in approximately 1K lines of purely functional code. It runs both in the browser and in the terminal. The game is written in the Elm language and the Gren language, using the TUI library", by lucamug. github.com/lucamug/func...

Ngl, my "discover" feed feels like I'm on LinkedIn. Why you all talking like HR is watching?

What up my circle of connections with people who mostly don't know who I am! I've been watching y'all 👁👁

Hey folks - I'm gonna talk about lessons learned while scaling #Elm applications at uncover.co today at 16h30 BRT / 19h30 UTC on the Elm Online Meetup. John Pavlick is also giving talk that I'm sure will be great! Come hang! :) meetdown.app/group/10561/...

go.bsky.app/gQdQbj Nice starter for people interested in Elm-like langs! 😁 In the past I thought a lot about what trait is common in these folks and I think we're all just careful builders who value simplicity and kindness. Elm and FP are just nice tools to express and achieve this simplicity.

As a designer that mostly worked for web over the last ~15y, I fucking love game UI design so much. Why is web so much worse?? Games have this attention to small details, they're not afraid to innovate while still being intuitive. Animations, spaciality, playfulness - ppl should be taking notes.

Hey frontend developers, I would love to know what is the first thing you reach for when first thinking about how to implement a new feature and what framework/language you use! Do you think about markup? Components? State? Data structures? Please RT for reach, I have no friends 😅

I've used tons of frameworks and languages over the years, and nothing ever brought me the joy and realiability of #Elm . I'm gonna speak about how we use it in production at uncover.co - keeping our 200k+ LoC easy to maintain and grow.

Folks, help a stranger out. I'm a visual person. I've been working with web and FP for almost 20 years. I'm a bit tired so I want to learn something new - something I could play later creating games or art stuff. What language should I do Advent of Code in? Thinking about Zig and Odin so far.. 🫵

So... same as 2024.

once you go TUI, you never go UI 💅

As part of my ongoing effort to follow @codesync.bsky.social around the playground until we're best friends, I'll be speaking at #CodeBEAMAmerica next march 🎉 Gleam has had a super busy year since we released v1, so I'll be giving an update for all y'all that haven't been paying enough attention 👁️👁️
