super fun group!! not used to giving a soft talk but it helped me get in touch with myself and reflect on how we move through this world, where we spend our time and how we get to live the happy life. thanks all!

ok talk starting in 5minutes. my biggest fear: cursing like a sailor

Hey all, I'm going to talk about getting to work with the tech you love at work (Elixir!!) at Code BEAM EU tomorrow 4:20pm CET. Some ideas on how to do that and lessons I've learned while helping developers in their careers. It'll be dynamo! codebeameurope.com/talks/softly... @codebeam.bsky.social

why is it that there’s always a loud scooter passing by in paris, but here today at berlin, even on larger roads, it’s almost quiet. i might not even need my noise cancelling headset #asd #autism

travel sites should be forced to put in the time you’d have to wake up to make the flight. 7:30am doesn’t sound so bad, but if it said wake up time: 4am, i’d be thinking twice about it!

hello past me, future me here. i dont know what you were thinking booking at 7:30am flight. i'll have to get up at 4am or something to make it. its already 1am. do you hate me? we should really talk.

Check out this Vectrex kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/185... - they are launching today at 4pm CET, 10am EST. I met with the folks at Paris Games Week and they were great. Seems like people I'd like to do something with. I never programmed on a Motorola 6809 before, could be interesting!

i set up nextcloud and jellyfin and i'm much happier for it (so far!) i learned about a few sites that sell drm free flacs or mp3s. [Qobuz](www.qobuz.com) and [Bleep](bleep.com) are 100% drm free. i found stuff on boomkat and juno also but they are a mix. if you have other sites, let me know! #drm

comparing ourselves to others truly is the path to unhappiness. first, it means you’re not after something for yourself, second it means you’ll always find someone doing better. i wish i could learn this lesson.

im going to be away for a month, it makes me sad. i’ll come back as a new person, a different ship of theseus, and so it won’t really be me who gets to come home to my girlfriend. crazy ? maybe. #melatoninthoughts

i see a lot of men get sensitive and say "not all men", but i think you guys are looking at it from the top chart, most men are good men. i agree. but when women say "men", its from the second chart. excuse my mermaid chart, i didnt want to ask chatgpt to make charts for me #feminism

✅ particle trail ✅ crosshair ✅ incredibly confusing #gamedev #indiedev

LinkedIn is such a weird social platform. There's the ones I like (fediverse, Bluesky), the ones I hate (Twitter), the ones that suck (Thread 🤢), then there's LinkedIn. Remember there was talk about AI sycophancy? LinkedIn is that but it's by real people (??) -- I think that's worse. Is it just me?

i hate capitalism but i just want to get rich so i don’t have to deal anymore, does this make me a hypocrite ? #contradictions

try out meet.jit.si if you're looking for an open source video conferencing service. it actually works pretty well, i had some issues with share screen on firefox but most meetings are just talking faces.

do you work with pull requests? if so, i highly suggest watching this!

i like how anyone who wants good stuff for people is labelled a communist. also why is being a capitalist any better?

@bf.wtf you need to make this a TikTok "game" , look them up if you don't know what i'm talking about, a billion people will play this.

RIP GM Daniel Naroditsky. Im a bit floored, kind of crazy how hard it hits for someone I never met. But damn, he was always so real even when there was so much drama in the chess world. #chess

I didn't use to have a hard time getting into the shower, but been procrastinating. If you're like me, sitting on a task you should do now, this is last call, your flight is ready to take off. proceed to your gate immediately. Do not pass Go, go straight to JAIL. that got dark - Just do the thing.

Pretty important topic, I think there was a bunch of damage done by the "Theory of Mind" perspective from earlier autism researchers. The ideas persist even in the psychiatric community. The Double Empathy Problem shows that it's really not about inability, it's about being different.

it’s going to be hard for me to detect dementia early. i just wrote down "tooth wire" in my shopping list bc i couldn’t remember dental floss.

it’s funny, i mostly leave my phone in airplane mode because i don’t answer phone calls. my phone is less of a phone now than a portable computer.

Piotr Szmielew shares four years of hard-earned lessons from running Elixir in production on Kubernetes (GKE) - powering major music industry e-commerce systems. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and how to avoid the potholes they hit along the way! 🎶💡

this is definitely the guardian of forever hiding in our time period

chatgpt just said the most crazy thing. so i live in france, have usa citizenship, am also ecuadorean and korean (father and mother). so it said this: And culturally, it’s such a wild combo: baguette, burger, ceviche, and kimchi — all in one. literally wtf! i might just use this in my bio.

i'm really enjoying learning erlang, dont get me wrong, but seeing some of this syntax (just learned records today), it makes me appreciate elixir even more ❤️ im still waiting to learn about the pipe operator... its coming right? ... right??? #erlang #elixir

Feels pretty surreal to finally be holding the Ash Framework book in my hands. Thank you to everyone (especially @zachdaniel.dev and the team at @pragprog.com) who helped make this happen!

guys - i went running today! super short run, but its a start. i want to find time for regular exercise. if you've been sedentary like me, this is your nudge. i think it helps with cognition and mood too! and damn do i need more of those lol

The AlchemyConf version of my "Tell me a Story" talk is finally out 🎉 content.subvisual.com/talk-roundta...

mondays are so tough. i never learn and slam my monday with things to do. i have to restart the work daemon and it seems to lose state all the time. also memory is trashing with swap because it’s trying to launch all processes at once. anyone have a PR for this?

ever wonder why our noses point sort of downwards ? seems like most mammals just stick out.

how do y’all with busy schedules fit in exercise? i need ideas.

Running a Global Elixir Meetup this evening :) globalelixirmeetups.com Check if there is one near you! #elixirlang

guys i’ve figured it out, the rapture happened 8 years ago and nobody was good enough to be beamed up. prove me wrong.

i just learned there are a bunch of people who believe the rapture is coming today and or tomorrow. it’s crazy to think how that must feel. sitting at home, waiting. do you think they’re dressed up? what do you do for your last day on earth? i’d probably sleep in.

The name badges have been a hit, but I realized that a lot of folks don't know that I'm doing a workshop using them at @codebeam.bsky.social in November! The workshop is gonna be lots of fun - includes assembling the hardware, set up a Nerves project, write some drivers, and personalize your badge

i often really enjoy meditation but there are days like today where it feels like a struggle. this is part of it, i guess.

fellow autists, do you have only two speeds too? i feel like mine are "broken" or "200% and eventually crash"

I'll be doing a talk on embedded programming with Elixir, come to Varberg, Sweden on September 10-12th and we can have .. what do Swedish people drink? Well, whatever it is, we can share a glass of it. goatmire.com/talk/overcom...

i love the native e-mail app on the iphone. shitty network? no network? no care, it just launches and tries its damn hardest to connect but you can read your emails! send something? it won’t delete it, or lose it, it’ll send when it can. why is this so hard?? #localfirst

my day is split among two states - being too cold because i just took a layer of clothing off, or too hot because i added a layer. someone really screwed up when they made my state machine.

why are the medication instructions written on such thin paper? it’s thinner than my toilet paper. and pretty much there’s no way i’ll figure out how to fold that back to the original. so it’s just a mess and i shove it back in the box.
