Considering open sourcing an #elixirlang macro at @massdriver.cloud that lets you declare what Ecto relations a function needs — like a typespec but for associations. Absolutely obliterates N+1s Thinking about open sourcing — would anyone actually use it? This does two things...

This place is dead ᵃᶠ.

TFW it works. Last night was the end of a two-month hack-a-thon for me and my cofounder. We've been asked time and time again to support running massdriver in self-hosted environments on-prem and in the cloud. We didn't build massdriver for this originally.

"Ah, I understand now" is going to be my "What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?"

Ohhhh baby. Got some work to do on the docs, but the darn thing works. hexdocs.pm/oci/0.0.2/re...

Today I casted a magic spell and the main ingredient was `Process.put/2`.

LLM Little lying motherfucker.

Cory O’Daniel is the CEO of @massdriver.cloud and Malcolm Matalka is a Co-Founder at ‪Terrateam‬, and both are founding members of OpenTofu which is a fork of Terraform. They join @seanfalconer.bsky.social to talk about OpenTofu. @coryodaniel.com softwareengineeringdaily.com/2025/05/27/o...

Parked a new hex package. Is the logo just right or what? hexdocs.pm/oci/0.0.1/re...

Working on this between self-hosted refactors: a tool that runs plan across all infra instances and flags changes from new policies. Like terraform plan but org-wide — real workloads, real environments. Context-aware, no more blind merges or finger-crossing.

We're getting ready to offer a self-hosted version of Massdriver. I'm putting together a hardening guide for Elixir releases (Kubernetes/Docker, node comms, remote shell lock down, etc). Anyone interested in collaborating or know of an existing guide I could contribute to?

Just dropped an ep w/ Lukas Gentele (Loft Labs) on vCluster. ✅ Simulate cluster upgrades ✅ vnode is a must for AI ✅ CRD conflicts? Solved. ✅ Made me rethink my clusters-as-cattle take 🐄💸 🎧 www.platformengineeringpod.com/episode/vclu...

Just survived the hairiest rebase.

I don't know how many tech founders origin stories start with "I met a guy in a bar", but that's how @coryodaniel.com of Massdriver story started. Check out the next episode and new season Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=It5j... Simplecast: azure-cloud-talk.simplecast.com/episodes/the...

Terraform module updates shouldn’t be a gamble. Here’s a WIP feature in Massdriver: draft publishing. Run your new module version across every invocation of that module usage. Validate, plan, check policy—before anything breaks. Demo video ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA34...

Hey Silicon Valley vibe coders, are you all still snorting modafinil?

Cleared up 40GB of storage on my laptop with one simple trick: rm -rf ~/**/.terraform/providers

Managing infrastructure with GitOps is awesome until it isn’t. The problem? The read layer. Developers always end up hopping into AWS or bolting on a pile of tools just to figure out what’s going on with their environments. youtu.be/IsMSOvLOHZk

Dropdowns are cool. I had a customer call earlier today where I was demoing managing an Aurora database with OpenTofu, and our simple little dropdown got an audible "woah." What a deceptively simple, yet beautifully versatile UI pattern. youtu.be/8uDZdiR2Ncc

"We need a wet signature..." NO YOU DO NOT, YOU FUCKING CAVEMAN!

Had an awesome time on the Startup Dad Podcast talking about the balancing act of building @massdriver.cloud and being present for my family. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVqk...

I’m really excited for all software to be as mediocre as everyone shitty fucking AI support bots

It's going to be really hard to protect your identity, your youness, in 5 years.

Social Media + New Years sucks ass. So much faux success porn. Almost an obligation. I enjoy the quiet reflection of the EOY and things to come. Deep personal thought. Don’t feel like you have to boast to have had a good year. Don’t feel like you didn’t have a good year if you can’t boast.

We wanted to do this using toucan, but the service is no longer available. Does anybody know a great video chat that can have breakout rooms? I’m old and know nothing cool. #elixirlang

Yoooo #elixirLang folks, if @davelucia.com (no davydog, wtf) and I had a holiday live stream monday, would y'all come and bullshit for a bit? If so what TZ are you in? Show me how bsky scales vs the elixirlang community, retwoot this shit.

I’ve felt it was obtuseᵃᶠ for a long time. Potential customers demanded GitOps, so we caved—only to find it made the product suck and killed deals anyway. One day, we said, “Fuck it. GitOps sucks ass and hinders our product.” And then the funnel filled up. www.massdriver.cloud/blogs/gitops...

Got self owned by my own classic postgres meme.

Is there a German word for the concept that the flavor of a taco is inversely proportional to the quality of the beef used in it?

Hosting a free #DevOps workshop on Wednesday Dec 18th at 10a PST on importing existing cloud resources into #OpenTofu (or #Terraform). I'll be using the tofu CLI and showing my technique for doing imports and module design for parity and reuse. Only a few seats left. streamyard.com/watch/SKqSVh...

Public registry Terraform modules are the leftpad of the #DevOps community.
