This is excellent. I particularly like the definition of the "Zombie Internet", which starts: "It’s people talking to bots, people talking to people, people creating “AI agents” and then instructing them to interact with people. It’s people using AI talking to people who are not using AI [...]"

Looking for an #ElixirLang dev? I'm officially on the market! 4+ years of Elixir in production. Natural affinity to testing, o11y and DX. My most used OS libraries are InstructorLite and PostHog SDK. Remote from 🇨🇦, PDT, links in bio. RTs appreciated 🙏 #MyElixirStatus

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...

BTW If you are looking for someone who can bring such optimisation expertise to your project - I am open to help as a consultant.

We are still looking for more sponsors for Goatmire Elixir. If your company wants to be on the banners and be part of making the event happen that'd be awesome. Please contact me :) #elixirlang #goatmire

Wrote a little thing about setting up my blog using Elixir, Phoenix and NimblePublisher. It's running on Dokploy on Hetzner, with bunny net as the CDN, which I'll probably write more about at some point? jola.dev/posts/buildi...

Some conversations with coworkers and friends got me thinking hard about how I'm using Claude Code, here are a few patterns that are emerging for me: one of the main ones being maximizing concurrency while actually staying in the loop. jola.dev/posts/stay-i...

If coding is your favorite part of software engineering, keep coding. AI doesn't stop you. But if coding was the only part you were good at, that's a different conversation. The job was always bigger than the code. #bransoncognac blog.bryanl.dev/posts/ai-sen...

Bit surprised at how limited your options are for a lot of SaaS in Europe. Nothing to do with politics, just didn’t realize how many US tech startups just don’t have similar EU competitors

What are your favorite uptime checkers and why? Just something that helps you feel like you’d be aware if your stuff goes down

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

Sharing this with a big recommendation. You'll have a hard time finding someone as knowledgeable as @hauleth.dev

Hi Bsky hivemind, is anyone looking for seasoned #ElixirLang developer? EMEA-based, fully remote. Either consulting or full-time.

Our GitHub repository is now public! github.com/elixir-lang/...

Your inner perfectionist is why that 3-week project is now at month 3. Ship the embarrassingly simple version. Get real feedback. Iterate. Every day your code isn't in users' hands is a day you're not learning if you're building the right thing. jola.dev/posts/ruthle...

I wanna share something I’ve been working on in my free time: darkdown.app. It’s an web-based markdown editor, with organization features and easy sharing of either individual notes or whole folders. Gorgeous design, no distractions. Would looove feedback and ideas ❤️

Another balanced take on AI productivity claims. It's not that it can't increase productivity, but how do you measure that? Delivering 10x faster means a 3 month project takes a week and a bit. Outside of prototypes and greenfield projects, is that realistic? colton.dev/blog/curing-...

I’m starting to look around for my next role! I'm a deeply technical engineer, with over a decade of professional experience in domains from cyber security to distributed systems and decentralized tech. My personal projects have spanned embedded systems to biohacking—I love learning new things.

Most engineers hate estimates because they've been weaponized by bad managers. But when teams treat estimates as conversations instead of contracts, they actually ship more consistently. Not because they predict better, but because they communicate better. jola.dev/posts/estima...

Haven't been posting in a while, so here's a spicy take: Your job as a software engineer isn't writing code. It's solving problems. The best engineers don't optimize for flow state—they optimize for impact. jola.dev/posts/enough...

Forgot to post here so... Hello network! It's time for me to move on and I'm kicking off the search for my next role. Let me know if you're looking for someone who obsessively ships, takes on whatever work has the highest impact, and consistently gets feedback like "you're too impatient".

One of my favorite LLM quirks is when they keep adding random flags that don't exist to commands. Yes, please run `mix format --proper` and then `mix test --all`. And then when that made up flag causes an error it's perfectly normal to then just give up on running the command. The future is here!

"The AI’s suggestion isn’t wrong—it might be perfectly adequate. The issue is that we’re increasingly likely to stop exploring once we have something that looks right." www.shayon.dev/post/2025/16...

Programmers don’t want you to know about this one trick to fix all your bugs in one go

much like how I'm not keen to visit america under even a slight risk of being deported to el salvador, I'm unwilling to run a program with any non zero probability of deleting my hard drive

So I've now run out of free trial prompts from Cursor, Windsurf and Zed, where do I go next? Wanna extract my share of the VC money.

Another convincing post on why it's very hard to really evaluate the productivity gains/efficacy of using AI for solving problems. www.baldurbjarnason.com/2025/followu...

"... my current theory of agentic programming: people are amazing at adapting the tools they’re given and totally underestimate the extent to which they do it, and the amount of skill we build doing that is an incidental consequence of how badly the tools are designed." ferd.ca/the-gap-thro...

"It gets most things right, but it consistently makes mistakes in the places that you are least likely to notice. In places where a person *wouldn’t* make a mistake. ... there’s no mind there, so it always behaves infuriatingly randomly." blog.glyph.im/2025/06/i-th...

As we're getting ready for the first release candidate of #Phoenix #LiveView 1.1, I want to write about some of the new features and improvements we've been working on. A thread! #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

"Distributed Elixir is not necessarily easy, but it can be simple. Simple in the sense of “not complex” and reducing the number of moving pieces." “I like Poland. I’m from Sweden. You don’t want to make eye contact? Great! Me neither!” 😂

Who cares about April anyway.

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Finally! > The size of an atom in the Erlang source code was limited to 255 bytes in previous releases, meaning that an atom containing only emojis could contain only 63 emojis. ... the number of bytes is no longer limited. www.erlang.org/news/174

Asked Claude to rewrite a three line function involving some addition and subtraction. I gave it the code and an expected result. It generated some code, then it immediately realized that it doesn’t return the right result, apologized and then got stuck doing the same thing again and again 🤦‍♀️

"Clever engineers write clever code. Exceptional engineers write simple code." 100% agree with this. There are rare exceptions that call for clever or innovative, but most of the time you think you're being clever you're just leaving a trap for a future you. endler.dev/2025/best-pr...
