Hey Elixir friends! :) Elixir Gets JavaScript Interop - Hologram v0.8.0 is out! Use npm packages, call JS functions, work with Web APIs and Web Components - all from Elixir, with zero client-side latency. hologram.page/blog/hologra... #Hologram #Elixir #ElixirLang #BEAM #WebDev

It's still a shell of a library, but personally I'm really excited about it. BEAM nodes are easy to deploy near users, getting the data there as well has always been the hard part. Hopefully this solves that. For now, it's just me having fun with NIFs. #elixirlang github.com/bytebottom/t...

Good night sweet prince And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest He was perfection. RIP, my baby.

After caring for a sick cat post-ER I'm thinking about how patient discharge for pets is kind of broken. We're still getting paper handouts with hand-typed text instructions like it's 1975. IDK if my thing is a *thing* but I hope somebody solves this problem. www.linkedin.com/posts/chad-f...

This seems about right molochinations.substack.com/p/no-more-co... "A former coworker of mine, Michael Novati, the fastest coder at Facebook for years, had a day this February where he landed 417 PRs on GitHub. How long would it take you to review that?" 😬

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

The level of game for much of the user-facing software out there right now is so low that I expect vibe coding will likely improve affairs for a lot of it. And be at the price point Bob and Bob and Bob and Bob's Autoparts Direct wants to pay.

We were kind of hyping Elixir to the OpenAI dev at the Elixir BoF table at The Pragmatic Summit. Kinda makes me wonder if this new OpenAI thing being in Elixir has any relationship to that convo (probably not but would be cool!) github.com/openai/symph...

Noice.

New blog post up: the culmination of my past few months working with agents Opus 4.5 and beyond, and the *many* things I learned. Also, the discovery of an optimization trick with promise. As a bonus: this post will make Rust engineers very mad. minimaxir.com/2026/02/ai-a...

We just released Sentry Elixir SDK 12.0.0! This is a massive release that brings support for structured logging, distributed tracing, improves LiveView support in tracing, introduces new HackneyClient and more! 🎉 Check out the changelog and upgrade ⬆️

How has the day-to-day workflow of Mitchell Hashimoto changed, thanks to AI tools? Mitchell is one of the most influential infra engineers of our time (created the likes of Terraform and Ghostty), and is one of the most pragmatic builders I’ve met. YouTube: youtu.be/WjckELpzLOU (cont'd)

This talk was packed with great (and of course, perishable) data.

Useful distinction re: Accuracy vs Reliability "When we consider a coworker to be reliable, we don’t just mean that they get things right most of the time. We mean something richer" www.normaltech.ai/p/new-paper-...

This looks super promising. Isolation level: QEMU micro-VMs "Sandboxing the compute isn't enough as you need to control network egress and protect secrets from exfiltration." And just as important: thoughtful DX/packaging

Huh, Rust kind of owns the messaging cryptography space rn e.g. github.com/signalapp/li... github.com/openmls/open... Fascinating and clear overview of how MLS efficiently rotates keys in group chats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FESp...

Twin brothers teach an LLM class at Stanford - looks pretty good cme295.stanford.edu/syllabus/

oh word is this stuff useful when you’re using it like a tool

This is such an obvious play and Tailscale DX is so good - looks very promising: tailscale.com/docs/feature...

Lot of interesting ideas in here - I'm realizing that I've been leaving some LV fine tuning on the table. One positive side-effect (to me) of LLM-driven workflows is how heuristic stuff that used to only live in the heads of developers is getting documented in markdown. Huge learning potential.

Another Elixir/Erlang/Python interop library. This one supports several parallelism modes: * Sub-interpreters- Each interpreter has its own GIL * Free-threaded Python (3.13+) - No GIL at all * BEAM processes - Fan out work across lightweight Erlang processes github.com/benoitc/erla...

Big day: The Pragmatic Summit! First-ever in-person @pragmaticengineer.com event. 17 standout speakers. 500 incredible attendees. Starts in an hour!

Some fresh research from Laura Tacho of DX at Pragmatic Summit. Take-away: AI is a multiplier of existing cultures - defect improvement / degradation is a reflection of existing systems/culture. Lots of new numbers on adoption and outcomes here!

Martin Kleppmann (Designing Data-Intensive Applications) on LLMs & their potential for unlocking formal verification (at last) martin.kleppmann.com/2025/12/08/a... I wrote some Rocq ages ago, neat but *non-trivial* barrier to entry. These systems prove the existence of subtle unhandled assumptions

I've been kicking the tires on Incus (formerly LXD) to level up my agent dev env. You can have something like Fly.io's sprites on your own box - snapshots, isolation etc. Agent Incus is a few bash scripts I put together for better ergonomics github.com/MixTapeSoftw...

The Minnesota I knew and loved is under invasion. The response: regular people standing up for their neighbors, courageous moms with phones and whistles, and despite the murder of innocent people and knowing they could be next, love and salvation.

Melody-based mechanic part 14 — Move forward with rhythm and left and right with melody. It spawns with a phrase at specific musical timings, and collapses with a phrase when it reaches the endpoint. #indiedev #UE5

Some truly cutting engineering ideas here - e.g. a raft consensus model for self-healing in the event of a disk failure for a given instance of a DB www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC1B...

This is great - it's about time someone updated the discourse on LLM energy usage to reflect that coding agents use massively more prompts than occasional questions to ChatGPT Simon estimates that a day of coding agent usage comes out close to the energy needed to run a dishwasher

Hey Elixir friends! :) Hologram's journey just took a big leap forward: @curiosum.bsky.social is coming on board as the Main Sponsor, and I'm joining their team to work on Hologram full-time! Read what this means for Hologram: hologram.page/blog/hologra... #Hologram #Elixir #ElixirLang #BEAM

Fascinating gig!

Great news for humanity - rude prompts do better than polite ones (for now): "Contrary to expectations, impolite prompts consistently outperformed polite ones, with accuracy ranging from 80.8% for Very Polite prompts to 84.8% for Very Rude prompts" arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04950

Whatever thoughts about the river have arisen now, they never describe the river at this moment. The actual state of the river is indescribable. It is eternally unique, just as it is, now.
