the more I read about the promises OpenAI has made, the more disgusted I am. They've promised to deploy 10GW of Broadcom chips *by the end of 2029*, a chip that has yet to tape out, in data centers yet to be planned or funded or the power acquired. We are in a black hole of ethics and good sense.

Thereβs still a bit to go to making this happen. Rebar is an important piece to using erlang not just for erlang, but just as much for elixir, gleam, β¦ Consider backing this effort.

Fixing my gripes with GitHub using Gleam and a Raspberry Pi
As a programmer there's no greater joy than trying to code my way out of little daily annoyances. Lately I've been annoyed by GitHub's UI and I set up to fix this using Gleam and a little Raspberry Pi Zero.

One of my favourite features of the Gleam build tool is that if you try to publish a library with a version 0.x.x, you need to type "I am not using semantic versioning" before it lets you publish
