Ep. 17: Event Sourcing with Shawn McCool @shawnmc.cool shares how event sourcing fundamentally changed how he thinks about modeling software. if you've felt stuck in the "way we've always done it" mindset, this one's for you 👇 🎧 compiledconversations.com/17/ 1/5

I sort of expected to hear a bunch of exciting updates about Expert the Elixir LSP implementation but it's been quiet and the website seemingly has no details. Anyone heard anything? What's the best venue through which to be kept up to date?

Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services — along with some tweaks to existing categories. I hope it helps your transition off US tech!

Cars (so often as they're used now) are an evolutionary dead end. Let's just have and vision and start closing the gap. Individual car ownership in cities is especially wasteful.

I wonder how I could find creative studios that need top quality server software. It would be pretty cool to work in such an environment while doing what I do best and enabling them to do what they do best.

I'm a 30+ years of experience programmer who is always looking for a capable / compatible artist to build a game with.

This is a long read, but a *very* good one.

I can't find any example of a class based language that prohibits mutable state. The message couldn't be clearer. Class based object orientation is a paradigm based around mutable state.

Starting to feel proper comfortable with Ash framework. It's like anything, once you learn the model it's pretty simple, but it's unusually weird to pick up. It's partly due to the fact that it comes across as being really CRUD, even though you don't have to use it that way.

Hey Elixir friends! :) We need help completing Elixir's browser runtime by porting some Erlang functions to JavaScript. No Erlang knowledge required. Each function unlocks multiple Elixir stdlib functions! More here: hologram.page/blog/elixir-... #Hologram #Elixir #ElixirLang #BEAM #WebDev

This talk is a must-watch for people in the Event-Driven space. I saw @noctovis.bsky.social giving it live at this year's DDDEU, and I truly believe that she nailed the versioning topic 👇🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TCb...

Ep. 13: Building on the BEAM, Part 2 w/ @shawnmc.cool We continue our chat with exploration of #Elixir's ecosystem: - Phoenix LiveView & real-time apps - Ecto's composable queries - Nerves for IoT & embedded systems - Nx, LiveBook & Tidewave 🎧 compiledconversations.com/13/

The State of Elixir Survey for 2025 is live! elixir-survey.typeform.com/2025-edition Fill it out if you have any connection to the Elixir ecosystem. It really helps us understand what happens. Curiosum are awesome to run this for the community. #elixirlang

Hence deferring strategy to name "things" might be really desirable, as "naming is framing" - then "models" (of thinking) then are constrainted just by the act of "naming". I tried to express some thoughts on that topic too talesfrom.dev/blog/the-amb...

I was recently on a podcast discussing Erlang / Elixir and the significant advantages that its runtime environment can bring over the industry status quo. I worked to specifically providing insight for my PHP / Java / C# experienced friends. bsky.app/profile/eddm...

Ep. 12: Building on the BEAM, Part 1 w/ @shawnmc.cool Why do #Erlang & #Elixir excel at distributed systems? We explore: • Process isolation & concurrency • Actor model & message passing • "Let it crash" philosophy • Hot code upgrades 🎧 compiledconversations.com/12/

Elixir 1.19 released! 🎉 This one had a lengthier rc period. It brings type system improvements and compile time improvements in large projects among other things 🚀 elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/10...

I love that there's always a TUI (terminal ui) app for things that I want to do, and that they never have customizable keymaps...

Hey bksy, I’m on the look out for my next project, I’m an experienced Elixir dev (> 8 years commercially, and > 10 years of Ruby before that + I'm still the maintainer of RSpec), very familiar with Phoenix and LiveView, and have enough CSS / JS knowledge to approach projects from a full stack angle.

This game is unnecessarily thirsty and has a terrible name, but it's the best of all time in its genre so there's that ... Plus it's on sale today for 2 bucks.. store.steampowered.com/app/674520/F...

Very good article on the AI hype - AI is most useful in tech, there there are the highest number of, and earliest adopters If AI was the productivity booster we should see its effects in secondary artefacts (apps released, domains registered, public github repos, video games, etc, etc)

I do like Oban as a service / product. But regardless of that, they have my absolutely favorite sales site. oban.pro

No, Your Domains and Bounded Contexts Don’t Map 1 on 1. It sounds clean and logical, but it’s wrong. Read about it in my latest article: verraes.net/2025/08/doma...

The older guy is supposed to be "crazy" coded in this sketch.. But this is me with modern technology.. I just want a damn steering wheel that doesn't fly off while I'm driving.. The thing should just do the thing it needs to do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YDp...

The easiest work to do is whatever can convince us that we're justified in avoiding the work we know we SHOULD be doing.

It's crazy how almost identical @dhh's new Arch Linux distribution Omarchy is to my own personal setup that I've been working on for many years. I would even consider installing Omarchy on new installs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcHY...

This is really awesome. Waterpark is already an exciting project, so hopefully this can be useful to even more people.

Quick reminder, if you're in the software industry, not just a programmer, then I highly recommend this book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goa... The Goal is about the Theory of Constraints. The author novelized the education of it to optimize education about the theory.

This changes how you’ll demo, teach, and explore Elixir. New Popcorn release coming tomorrow – here's a sneak peek of what's to come 🍿 #ElixirLang

You've heard me advocating for Erlang/Elixir for some years now. I've put together a short presentation about some of the practical reasons why I chose to pursue this tech. Practical Arguments for Erlang / Elixir

I overlooked this talk for some reason, it's from 2017. But I think it's relevant to all developers, not just Elixir / Payments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZPG...

Finally got to watch @bryan-hunter.bsky.social's Waterpark talk. It's a great demo of how BEAM and Elixir can help build systems with zero downtime, while significantly reducing technical complexity. Curious about what makes Elixir special? This is the talk to see! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdBm...

NEW: Cheaper batteries mean near-24/365 solar is now economic☀️ We analysed 18 years of hourly insolation data at 12 places, to see how close to 24/365 electricity it was possible to get. The sunniest places get over 90% - and up to 99% - of the way... from just $100/MWh. 🧵

Looks great!!! I wish I could easily replace a battery in my Samsung phone...

Great talk that I recommend to anyone who is thinking about downloading an API client or quickly throwing together one for themselves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AexE...

Elixir 1.19 is a banger! Honestly I'm so pleased with the direction that #ElixirLang is going. My programs just get faster and more correct every time. I just know that we're in good hands. Thank you to everyone on the team for your hard work! github.com/elixir-lang/...

Is this interesting? It seems interesting at least for now. I've been looking for ways to improve testing integrations. youtu.be/Qgi1nF6iZS4?...

A friend of mine is going to say this happened because they don't know how to use them (the AI chatbots).
