tfw you ask the conference organizer to procure a skull and he immediately responds with "sure, one human skull, consider it done" 😅

I am learning Rails Hotwire because that is the blessed path for Rails, and I am now working on a Rails app. It is with a heavy heart that I report that this shit is _not_ LiveView. Their similarities begin and end with sending DOM changes down a WebSocket, that's it

46 meetups! The Global Elixir Meetup initiative is certainly getting things moving. You acn see them in your local timezone on here. Plenty of livestreams I expect: live.globalelixirmeetups.com/meetups #elixirlang

My conference report for Goatmire Elixir 2025. From the perspective of the organizer. I hope to see other people share long-form notes on their conference experience. There cannot be too much blogging. Also, lots of nice pictures by Petter Boström. underjord.io/conference-r... #elixirlang

Speakers announced for the Gothenburg Elixir meetup. Andreas Ekeroot and me. This meetup community here has been dormant for a long time. Reviving something is tricky, you have to reach the crevices of the dev community. So help pass this to interested friends. luma.com/g7hqffz7 #elixirlang

Opportunity to get in deep with the hardware Gus made for Goatmire!

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

This piece argues we’re in not one, but three AI bubbles: 1. a financial bubble with inflated valuations, 2. an infrastructure bubble with overbuilt data centers, 3. a hype bubble where AI can’t meet its promises. Honestly, all three seem highly likely to me.

There must be at least A FEW artists out there who specialize in painting fucked up hands and had to change their entire life because of this shite

Just checked out my own talk blurb for Øredev. Not half bad. I like the title "Keeping secrets in your opponent's hands". oredev.org/program/a423... Going to be a fun talk. I've bought stationery.. #elixirlang

Photos from #goatmire look 🤯 I pray for recordings? #ElixirLang

I'm pulling the plug on Code Code Ship next week Friday. As part of this, I'm releasing highlander_pg as open source. It's a variant of my original highlander package, which uses postgres advisory locks. It's solid! It is ergonomic! It is production-tested! hex.pm/packages/hig... #elixirlang

November is Øredev season. I'll be talking embedded security and getting into trouble off stage on camera. This year was an IT slump. I see good signs though. Opportunities are up, money is moving. If you want to go this might be the time to ask your employer. They might be in a good mood :)

I wrote a little bit about the work behind Goatmire Elixir in today's newsletter. You still get it if you register within 7 days: underjord.io/newsletter.h... #elixirlang

What an incredible week! A huge thank you to the organizers, attendees, speakers, staff, and everyone in between: Having so much talent, expertise, enthusiasm and kindness in one place, is truly inspiring. I can’t wait to see you all again! Now to sort through all my notes 😅 #Goatmire

I had an amazing time at #goatmire 2025! It was a humbling experience to be the very first speaker of #NervesConfEU and a pleasure to show what we did on the « Nerves car ». Only 360 days to sleep until Goatmire 2026 @lawik.bsky.social 😉

Wrapped up my conference season for this year with #goatmire Elixir. Had too much fun telling a story one last time, and had even more fun watching some of the most unusual and memorable talks I've ever seen. Photo credits: @petterbos.bsky.social

Thank you @lawik.bsky.social and the whole team for #goatmire. The conference was even better than anticipated—if you weren't there, you really missed out! We got to solve a tricky murder in a historic theater with colleagues who feel like friends and family ❤️‍🔥

Hey #ElixirLang folks - if you were to buy a Nerves “getting started hardware kit”, what sort of sensors/components would you want on there, what sort of projects would you want to do with it?

Turns out we *did* have one more review for @macstories.net. Here's everything that's new in CarPlay this year and how it works: www.macstories.net/stories/carp...

Just bought a fun new device: An RTL-SDRv4 Dongle. This bad boy can receive radio frequencies from 0-1.5GHz and convert them into digital signals. I will try to listen to digital broadcasts, like airplane locations (ADS-B), using #ElixirLang! This is 100% @flightradar24.com's fault by the way!

What a thrill <3 Thank you for bringing it. And the soy sauce. The soy sauce is awesome!

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

With Goatmire Elixir in your veins it is time to turn to your local community. A conference is a bunch of work, but attending or organizing a meetup is not that heavy. The Global Elixir Meetups effort is next, and soon: globalelixirmeetups.com #elixirlang 1/2

What a great start at the last day of #goatmire in Varberg. Both live music and an amazing puppet show, all analogue! #elixir

The day continued with some more interesting talks and, lo and behold, a murder mystery!! 🕵️ #goatmire #elixir

What wonderful speakers we had. What a show the brought to our little town. I look forward to you all getting to finally see videos of Saša's latest masterpiece. Very soon. #elixirlang

Not confirmed :D Thank you Narc and crew for the awesome presentation!

Had a great time at #GoatMire meeting the great @zachdaniel.dev , @barnabasj.bsky.social , and @sasajuric.bsky.social — huge thanks to @lawik.bsky.social for making it happen!

With Goatmire in the bag. I am resting for a minute but shortly the call of the community horn sounds again and we plan to answer. As part of Global Elixir Meetups we are making an Elixir meetup in Göteborg. luma.com/g7hqffz7 Open to speaker submissions :) #elixirlang

Recovering from my first tech conference – and boy did I pick a great one to attend with Goatmire™ in Varberg, Sweden 😇 #goatmire #elixirlang Topped it off with the Ash summit for good measure and can now confirm that the core team exists in real life 👍 @ash-hq.org Would recommend to a friend ✅

Btw! During the conference we launched two new shirts. The Erlang Shirt and a limited run of The Phoenix Shirt. You can order them now except from the US. oswag.org/b/erlang oswag.org/b/phoenix #elixirlang #erlang

I love that “radical” and “radish” have the same etymology 🤓🫜

Reviews are in I suppose :)

@maennchen.dev has just released the first version of Clarity: hexdocs.pm/clarity/Clar... Clarity is an interactive introspection and visualization tool for Elixir projects.

Inaugural Ash Summit in full swing! Lecture hall full of Ash folks exploring the Ash ecosystem and releasing multiple new extensions! #goatmire #elixirlang

I’m still thinking about @samaaron.bsky.social’s talk at #goatmire - nothing has captured my curiosity and wonder for coding like this! #elixirlang

Thank you all who attended NervesConf EU & Goatmire Elixir. As I said in my closing remarks. My heart is full. My brain is full. And does anyone have a british to EU power adapter? #goatmire #elixirlang

Lastly we learned about the complexities of state handling and the conference ended with a wonderful live coding music performance! #goatmire #elixir

The first part of the last afternoon gave us insights on how to handle a security disaster, converting from old code to new and our host @lawik.bsky.social showed us thousands of VMs running on the same machine. #goatmire #elixir

#goatmire took conferences to the next level. The Presentations, the Speakers, the Attendees all were amazing. And It really showcased why I love the elixir community so much. Huge thanks to @lawik.bsky.social and the team for organizing such an awesome event

Thank you to everyone at #Goatmire and @lawik.bsky.social for an absolutely amazing conference. I feel like i have rediscovered my love for the art of programming.

#NervesconfEU and #goatmire have completely elevated the art of a conference to another dimension. Thank you @lawik.bsky.social and everyone involved

We have had an excellent time at #goatmire #elixirlang

Todo list: * Become a paid member of the EEF * Back rebar4 on Kickstarter * Add a security policy and automated tools to my open source projects #goatmire #ElixirLang

I've been super quiet on socials (because everything is a screaming burning hell for everyone amirite) but I'll try to post a bit more. What better excuse than the first 1.0 release of Gettext for @elixir-lang.org, which is 10+ years old?! Fresh of an Hex near you??? hex.pm/packages/get...

So this was fun 😬 This crazy impressive device was built by @gworkman.bsky.social 🤘 #Goatmire #ElixirLang @lawik.bsky.social

Goatmire. What an incredible experience! Much love to @lawik.bsky.social and the team for bringing together one of the most diverse and meaningful conferences I've ever been to. All the talks were incredible but Flora's musical puppetry was a next level performance. Bravo! #elixirlang
