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

Sweet #Ecto datetime helpers? Yes, please! 😄 - ago, from_now, date_add, datetime_add 👨‍🍳🤌 #ElixirLang

Alright... it's all up now 🎉 I walked through the Phoenix 1.8 AGENTS md file, and it was both funny and informative! You can see the full 25 mins of glory or in parts (on the same page) 👇 www.elixirstreams.com/tips/what-ag... #ElixirLang

Getting back into recording **short** #ElixirLang video tips by recording a walk-through of @elixirphoenix AGENTS file... It's ~25 mins long. I think I'm rusty 😅

Anybody using #ElixirLang in production and doesn't like their error tracking service/APM service? Would you be willing to jump on a 30 min call today and show me what you like/dislike about it? 🙏

Don’t let the age of this article from @germsvel.com scare you off, vertically slicing features is still a great idea: www.germanvelasco.com/blog/break-a... #AgileDevelopment

Hypothetically speaking... if I were to build an Elixir-focused error and performance tracking tool, what would you like to see in it? 🧐 #ElixirLang

Leaving @elixirconf.bsky.social , as I usually do, with my heart full. I know some people go for the tech, but I go for the people. Love meeting old and new friends. Thanks for all the hard work organizing the conference!

Phoenix #LiveView 1.1.5 is out now with a new `stream_async` function very similar to github.com/utopos/live_... and a small bugfix for hooks inside of teleported elements! #MyElixirStatus hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live...

I'm closing out, for now, my series on questions at the heart of development with an analysis of when we need more abstraction. For example, taking @germsvel.com's advice about architecting more accurate models can reduce future bugs. programmersstone.blog/posts/why-is... #ElixirLang

For my @elixirconf.bsky.social talk, I'm comparing #ElixirLang's mocking libraries. It'll be a tournament-style bracket! 🎉 I want to start by introducing the participants! 👇 🧵 What do you think of their characters? 😬

Starting to write my talk for @elixirconf.bsky.social . It's all about mocking libraries in #ElixirLang (idea is for them to duel to see which one is best 😄) These are the libraries I know of: 👉 meck, mock, mox, hammox, mimic, patch, promox, protomock Am I missing any?

There are many benefits to testing, but they're also costly. So, why should they exist? It's a valid question (and something I haven't had to justify in a while, until recently), so I wrote a post that I think captures the core reason. ✍️ www.germanvelasco.com/blog/why-we-... Hope it's helpful!

Elixir Radar issue 475 is out! 📣 You can read it here: buff.ly/oEuZxWu This issue comes with content from ‪@relistan.bsky.social‬ @thatarrowsmith.bsky.social @juanazam.bsky.social @germsvel.com , Marcin Praski, and Karlo Smid. Thank you! #ElixirLang

I recently discovered (or rediscovered) several really cool `mix hex` tasks. Really handy when you need them. 👇 #ElixirLang

Took me a minute to figure out how to update the version of hex itself. 🤔 In case you're on the same boat 👇 mix local.hex 🎉 #ElixirLang

Anybody using Neovim with #ElixirLang? Curious about your LSP setup. Do you use mason, mason-lsp, and nvim-lspconfig? Thinking of migrating from vim -> neovim, but this has me stumped.

Finally got around to testing LiveDebugger, and I'm soo impressed! 🤯 👉 www.elixirstreams.com/tips/a-quick... #ElixirLang #PhoenixFramework

I’m running for the EEF board and would be extremely grateful for your vote: erlef.org/blog/eef/ele...

I finally got around to looking at Phoenix 1.8.0-rc! 🥳 👀 A quick(ish) look at the highlights in the official announcement 👇 www.elixirstreams.com/tips/phoenix... #ElixirLang #PhoenixFramework

👋 Know of anybody who needs help with Elixir/Phoenix? Let me know! I have some availability coming up in a few weeks. 📆 #ElixirLang #Phoenix

DDD is a very interesting topic, but it has a TON of new terminology (and overloaded words). And (I think) most people don't want to read 2 gigantic tomes 📚 to understand the fundamentals (led alone practice it for years for it to sink in). 🧵👇

Go get yourself some German Engineering 👍

📣 for the first time in almost 2 years I have an opening for new clients (in May)! Do you (or someone you know) need help with Elixir/Phoenix? #ElixirLang

It would be an understatement to say German shaped the way I write tests when working in Elixir and Phoenix - he's an absolute fount of knowledge!

German is a pro, and an incredibly thoughtful practitioner. If you or your team are working with Elixir and Phoenix, you’d probably benefit greatly from working with him.

Your team would be lucky to have German!

PhoenixTest v0.6.0 is out! 🥳 Some great changes. But... it also deprecates `select` with `:from` 😞. Hate to do it, but I think it'll make things better going forward! 📚 Changelog: hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test... ⭐ Upgrade guide: hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test... #ElixirLang

People in #ElixirLang, do you use tracing in production? If so, what do you use (recon, rexbug, something else)? And how often do you use it?

When I’m adding a Hex package to my project, I always find it a pain to go to GitHub or Hexdocs to find the right version. 😞 Recently, I came across a better solution! 🥳 mix hex.info <package_name> Check it out! www.elixirstreams.com/tips/mix-hex... #ElixirLang

I was recently perusing the Phoenix codebase (as one does), and loved how `Phoenix.Logger` handles its own telemetry data to log statements. It's brilliant! It centralizes logging so you don't have duplicative `Logger` and `:telemetry.execute` statements!👇

Sometimes, I want a function to take in a list, a single element, or perhaps even `nil`. 🤔 But the operation inside the body of the function requires a list. 😞 For that, I like `List.wrap/1` 🤩 👉 https://www.elixirstreams.com/tips/list-coercion-for-fun-and-profit #ElixirLang

What an honour to hear phoenix_test_playwright mentioned on the Thinking Elixir podcast! podcast.thinkingelixir.com/238

Does anybody else struggle to find their `Logger.debug/1` output in a sea of logs? 😅 One neat trick is to give it some color! 👇 https://www.elixirstreams.com/tips/log-output-with-colors #ElixirLang

Thinking of submitting talks to @gigcityelixir.bsky.social What should I talk about? - PhoenixTest? - Creating content in the community? - Experiences consulting? - Something else? #MyElixirStatus

When #ElixirLang 's type system is finished, will we need typespecs + Dialyzer anymore? I've been curious, and someone just shared this with me 👇 old.reddit.com/r/elixir/com...

This #ElixirLang library is either a great idea or a terrible idea. I can’t decide which. 😆 I just want to use structs more for simple things but don’t like the boilerplate if they’re simple. hexdocs.pm/simple_struc... Thoughts?

Just merged our first PhoenixTest.Playwright test into main. Feels good! We get the wonderful PhoenixTest syntax (🙌 @germsvel.com), but with the ability to execute JavaScript, all without the unreliability of Chromedriver. 😌 Shoutout to @ftes.de for making this happen! #ElixirLang

I didn't know, but turns out my ElixirConf talk on "Why the world needs PhoenixTest" is up on YouTube! 🥳 If you're wondering why I created the library, this is the video to watch! (~30 mins) 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi6r... #ElixirLang

I'm curious, are there companies out there that would subscribe to a premium version of Elixir Streams? Short videos (focused on training on Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, Ecto, etc) that would be delivered at a weekly/monthly cadence to employee's emails? #ElixirLang

Wanted to take Elixir 1.18's new "type checking of function calls, alongside gradual inference of patterns and return types" for a spin. 🤩 It did not disappoint! 👇 www.elixirstreams.com/tips/elixir-... So cool to see this work happening. And we get it for free! 🙌 (Thanks to #ElixirLang team!)

With #ElixirLang 1.18 out, I wanted to take a look at the highlights in the blog and chat about it. I hope to do a deeper dive into certain things later, but for now, hope others enjoy this walk-through! 👇 www.elixirstreams.com/tips/elixir-...

Great list of resources! I’m not affiliated, but I’d also recommend Testing LiveView by @germsvel.bsky.social. It’s been a great resource once you have a good understanding of LiveView. www.testingliveview.com

PhoenixTest v.0.5.0 is out! 🥳 Lots of changes. My favorite: experimental assertion `timeout` option that waits for async operations (and handles redirects). Less visible work (but sooo valuable) -- work to allow for a playwright driver. 🤯 (huge thanks to @ftes.de 🙌) 👉 hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test...

Thanks @hugobarauna.com for chatting with me last week! 🥳 I loved talking about his time as a co-founder of Plataformatec, how his role evolved there, and of course, his work with Elixir Radar, Livebook, and the Elixir Patterns book. 🎧 👇 #ElixirLang elixirfriends.transistor.fm/episodes/fri...

I'm excited to chat with @hugobarauna.com today in Elixir Friends! Anything in particular I should ask him? #ElixirLang

Was trying to explain this the other day. How do we coordinate a message that runs through a GenServer’s handle_call and handle_info in a way that makes it seem synchronous from the caller’s perspective? The secret, use GenServer.reply/2 Check it out 👇 www.elixirstreams.com/tips/sync-th...
