Packing a suitcase to go on a trip is awful. Why do I have so many clothes? And why do I have to pack them all just in case?

And I thought I was doing weird things, parsing Morrowind game files to be stored in a database - this guy ls like stuff it, let's just convert them into Elden Ring game mods! 🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=n89N...

Dear social media apps - I just want a goddamn chronological feed of content from people I follow. That’s it. Why is this so bloody hard???

Two weeks after starting to use HabitKit to make myself do some Japanese study every day, I've cleared my massive backlog of overdue Wanikani cards (which was over 500). Next challenge, maintain it and finish clearing the Marumori backlog...

After 25 years we finally get an mixed international season of Survivor and I am *here for it*!

Achievement unlocked: in a Google Meet, managed to screen share the little dialog box that says “do you want to share this window?”

At the risk of getting into "it doesn't matter which tool you choose, its more important to just *start*" - what are folks using for tracking habits these days? The tick-off-every-day-don't-break-the-streak type habits?

Why does Kayo show more cricket than Foxtel does, when they are owned by the same company and Foxtel is like 3x the price??

Cinder v0.5.0 has been released, with fixes for array fields including a new `match_mode` option - select records where any or all of the array values match the filter! hexdocs.pm/cinder/

I scored 11/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media. (Admittedly most of them were guesses)

<me on Thursday> hmmm do I feel like trying to reverse engineer Unity asset bundles to extract some images... <@barnabasj.bsky.social> that might be a good question for Claude and so I spent the next three days mucking around and got all the glorious data I wanted and its so beautiful

It’s impossible to get everyone on the internet to agree on anything. But *everyone* on the internet thinks that Channel 10 fucked up by firing JLP from Australian Survivor!

What’s with the latest version of Firefox on macOS, and why does it take 100% of my CPU just existing with no tabs open?

We’re HUGE supporters of the #ElixirLang community, which is why we’re super excited to be supporting #Goatmire, Sweden's 1st Elixir conference as a Founding sponsor! 🥳 Book your tix & meet the @teamalembic.bsky.social and #Ash team there this Sept! goatmire.com

"I want your bad English. I want your bad art. I want to see the raw unfiltered expressions of humanity. I want to see your soul in action."

Growth hacking my vision to scoremax at bowling 💪 🎳 (am I doing it right? I got new glasses yay)

Happy World Test Championship day to those who celebrate! 🏏 ....and as I type that, Khawaja nicks one to slip. Fuck.

Newsletter: I want my damn tech industry back. I'm sick of these sociopathic and directionless freaks wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on AI and ruining products in search of perpetual growth. It has never been more urgent to hold them accountable. www.wheresyoured.at/never-forget...

My first real experience with "vibe coding", asking Claude 4 (in Zed) to build new functionality in an app following existing patterns. It's... okay? Not great? Just okay? Really frequent Claude 'too many tokens' errors, overly long debugging cycles, and too often I have to... 🧵

This promises to be a very interesting talk about using Reactor for Nerves device startup. I think Reactor is also interesting in itself and I look forward to learn more about it. goatmire.com/speaker/jame... #elixirlang #embedded

Went down a rabbit hole looking for cute little house mods for Morrowind. Remembered that I made a few in like, 2005. Managed to actually find them via the Internet Archive. And they're exactly what I wanted! Thanks (very very) past me

There's never been a better time to check out the Ash Framework book! 40% off is a bargain!! pragprog.com/titles/ldash...

This book shaped a lot of my thinking about software development, when I read it very early on in my career. This, and The Pragmatic Programmer (which is a much shorter read!)

Reinstalled OpenMW and the latest version of Tamriel Rebuilt, to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of Morrowind. I still love everything about this game

The #AshFramework book is now content complete, so now is the perfect time to pick it up! The latest update includes many to many relationships, custom code interfaces, pubsub, Oban, atomics… I told you it was a big one! pragprog.com/titles/ldash... #ElixirLang

One of my all-time favorite video games is on big sale on Steam at the moment. I'm not saying you should buy it, but if you like visual novels, you really should. store.steampowered.com/app/648580/4...

Reminder, the Goatmire CFP is only open until the end of the month. We'll be doing a bunch of review today and then again after it has closed. Get your talks in for Goatmire Elixir and NervesConf EU! https://sessionize.com/goatmire-elixir-2025 #elixirlang

I’m always so hesitant to ask for help at work, but I always feel so much better and more energised after actually chatting with other devs. Even if it’s just rubber ducking. Everyone should talk more often!!!!

The number of todos for the final, most epic chapter of the #AshFramework book is shrinking rapidly - there's *so* many goodies in there which is why it's taking so long! I can't wait to get it in everyone's hands!! #ElixirLang @ash-hq.org

This is actually pretty interesting! www.readyourcolor.com I took the quiz and I'm a pretty big Red Reader - and I can't argue with the description! Fearless and bold in books but not in real life 😅

My meetup talk is now live! If you’d like a sneak peek behind the curtain about writing the #AshFramework book, check it out 😁 #ElixirLang

Fuck cancer. (Not me I’m okay, but just… fuck it.)

I promised myself I can have a couch marathon to watch Bloody Game 2, after I finish writing the final chapter of the Ash Framework book. Motivation!!

Join Alembians @mikebuhot.bsky.social & @sevensea.cat at tomorrow's @elixirsydney.bsky.social online-only meetup. See you there!

Just voted in our state election - left my house on a Saturday afternoon, walked two blocks to my nearest polling station, entered the hall after not waiting in line, got my name checked off the list, got my papers, voted, walked home. Whole thing took less than half an hour. How it should be!

Quite a few people were confused about our starter Tunez app requiring NodeJS - so we removed it in the latest version of the #AshFramework book! Keep the feedback coming, we want to make the book as excellent as we can :) pragprog.com/titles/ldash... #ElixirLang

I'm doing a thing! If you'd like to hear a bit from me about writing the #AshFramework book, come along! #ElixirLang
