I still stumble occasionally trying to use @jj-vcs.dev but that's only because it's given me the confidence to try and do things that I'd never even think to attempt directly with git. And even when I mess up jj undo is such a blessing

I've been having a hard time working on personal projects recently, and I think getting back into more directly creative endeavors like game dev may help. What do people recommend? I'm open to any software/language but right now I'm between diving into Bevy or Godot

A reminder of how cool and flexible snapshot tests can be! giacomocavalieri.me/writing/test...

Me and my fellow Bills fans saying we want to see a change going into next season:

the Falcons, free from the shackles of expectation

Just watched a Samsung ad for their AI features where the actors go to a museum and ask their phone questions about the things on display. Now, I haven't been to a museum as recently as I'd like, but I think they still have those neat little placards next to each exhibit that gives you that info

Continuing my annual tradition of doing advent of code in @gleam.run. It's been a second since I've gotten the chance to write some Gleam and I'm absolutely blown away with how good the LSP has gotten, such a lovely programming experience!

all i'm saying is if we average 5 stars a day lustre can hit 2k in time for my birthday 🥺👉👈 thatd be pretty cool huh huh what if i promise a release when we hit 2k 👀 github.com/lustre-labs/... gogogogogo

"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...

A bunch of talks yesterday name-dropped Lustre which is so surreal, super wild for folks to just be talking about Your Thing ™️ in the middle of a talk. We're only 18 stars off of 1.9k and I'm desperately trying to get 2k before the end of the year. 🥺👉👈 github.com/lustre-labs/...

Hayleigh is by far one of the best devs I’ve ever met, and an amazing teacher of difficult concepts too! If you’re hiring I can’t sing her praises enough!

Forgot to announce on here, but streamed some #gleamlang this morning! Using gleeunit, I can now automatically create/destroy a database from a template for tests with pog www.twitch.tv/videos/25694...

More important than how productive your tools make you is how cool you feel using them. Is my helix, and zellij setup discernibly better than other editors? Probably not. Does doing basic things make me feel really smart? Absolutely

I don’t think I’m getting the most out of jj that I could, but my commits are cleaner and I’m having fun so that’s a win

we really want to build something using @gleam.run. any suggestions?

Details confirmed for the first ever Gleam conference, brought to you by @crowdhailer.bsky.social: Gleam Gathering is happening on 21st February 2026 in Bristol, England. First speakers confirmed are from our Core Team: @lpil.uk @hayleigh.dev and @giacomocavalieri.me ⭐ gleamgathering.com

I don’t know whether I have the font on my ereader so large because my eyesight is getting worse or because the dopamine hit I get from pressing the page turn button is what keeps me reading

The last 8 years have all been working towards this moment

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey! We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!

It’s not news that the software that we use seem to be getting worse and worse but it feels like the website versions of apps are getting hit the hardest. Especially on mobile. The bright side is it means I spend less time online out of frustration 🤷

Preliminary results but so far @tanstack.com Form is amazing. Past form libraries I've used have been so frustrating that I've preferred to just hand role forms myself, but TanStack Form has fixed a lot of those issues

Guillaume Hivert, VP of Engineering at Steerlab, shares how being a Gleam business has been the best choice they have made!

A major disconnect I have with a lot of pro AI arguments is that they make out that doing things like searching something on Google is such a painful experience, and we now no longer need to do it. It's definitely gotten more annoying _because_ of AI, but it's wasn't some huge burden solve?

Since the NYT election map by neighborhood is now behind a paywall, I thought I'd share this one by AP apnews.com/projects/nyc...

There are two hawks(?) perched on a tree across from my apartment but they’re just too far away to get a good look at. This is a PSA not to wait to buy your binoculars for birding

Super stoked to see that @gleam.run added support for named processes! This makes it even easier to build out the same kinds of systems that we love in other BEAM languages like Elixir, and Erlang.

BEAM peeps, does anyone have a go-to library for creating PDFs?

I spent way too much time at work figuring out how to deploy a React frontend with a simple backend on Vercel. While I definitely could have just used NextJS the final outcome is a setup that takes less than 30 seconds to deploy. It can even do SSR, and HMR on both the frontend and backend too!

Let’s hear from people that use Gleam in production! @markholmes.bsky.social of Williams & Holmes, LLC: “What’s so great about Gleam isn’t how fast and simple it is to build things –although that is true– but how easy it is to come back later and refactor!”

I love helix and have been daily driving it for a few years now, but I just spent the day trying to get prettier and eslint working when they previously worked fine. If anyone has an idea of why the sudden change please let me know 🙏

Gleam v1.11.0 is out now! 🌟 gleam.run/news/gleam-j...

As a Bills fan I stand by that I support the only real NY football team. That being said it was fun rooting for a truly local team like the Knicks. So now until September all my energy is going to the Liberty!

A good day for NYC basketball across boroughs

Yes, it looks like the Knicks are cooked—but looks are deceiving. The reality is that the Pacers play bloodless basketball in a soulless ethanol state that isn't even in the top 3 of corn producers in the country—they are number 5—they are the BALTIMORE ORIOLES OF THE CORN DIVISION. Knicks in 7.

A limited sample size so far but WNBA games seem to have much better music than the NBA

If you do stuff in Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, AtomVM or adjacently. You can just ASK to be on BEAM Radio (https://beamrad.io). We do reach out to people but very few people ask. Only the spammers in my inbox. We want to show more of what happens in the ecosystem so don't be shy :) #elixirlang #erlang

VSCode can offer JavaScript refactorings which take additional input from the user (see the first gif, it takes a new name). We want to have similar for Gleam, but we can't work out a way to do this with language server protocol. Is it possible? Help! 💜 code.visualstudio.com/docs/typescr...

For the last three months I've been working with @joshi.monster on the next major release of Lustre... It's here! You can read the announcement post here: hexdocs.pm/lustre/annou... We did so much this release,, 3x faster(!), better native forms, lifecycle effects, built-in debounce, ...

www.thoughtworks.com/radar/langua... I’ve been told that it’s pretty cool we’re on this list 🤭

Gleam v1.9.0 is out now! It's a big one! gleam.run/news/hello-e...

This is a cracked release with language support for debug printing, git dependencies, the ability to jump to type definition, 6 new code actions, and a huge performance boost for the js target as the cherry on top 🍒

This shoulda been the Bills.

Over the last few years I've been building a website for a local co-op, and every time the project would stall I'd end up re-building it from scratch. For this final version I built it in @astro.build and I'm so glad I did! Absolutely the best experience I've had building out a (mostly) static site

Excited to be doing this webinar with @joshcprice.bsky.social! No better way to spend my birthday than talking about @gleam.run. If anyone is interested you can RSVP for free here codebeamamerica.com/webinar2025/!

Starting off 2025 on a good foot by making this skirt for my partner! Some of my goals for this year are to spend a bit less time in front of a screen and to finish more projects so this checked off both of those boxes

Back to programming after a nice holiday break. Working on a small project now with a tiny frontend and backend and it's refreshing to get away from big frameworks like NextJS and have something working with a few small, and intuitive files

5:00pm on the last day of work before the holidays and I go to review a PR

Getting to implement Dan's designs was one of my favorite parts about working at July, definitely going to miss it! Once you know the joy of working with a well made Figma file it's hard to go back
