New blog post: **Numbering nested inputs in Phoenix LiveView.** This should be a simple feature to add to your nested forms, but it's not obvious how to implement it, and there are complications if your nested inputs are sortable. arrowsmithlabs.com/blog/numberi...

Elixir Radar issue 473 is out! 📣 You can read it here: buff.ly/sToO24X This issue features content from @thatarrowsmith.bsky.social @josevalim.bsky.social , Marcin Ruszkiewicz, Caio Delgado and Dan Schultzer. Thank you! #ElixirLang

Here's some of the feedback I've received since launching the LiveView and OTP Crash Course five months ago. (Check it out yourself at liveviewcrashcourse.com. It's free! 😉)

As we're getting ready for the first release candidate of #Phoenix #LiveView 1.1, I want to write about some of the new features and improvements we've been working on. A thread! #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

Fully agree with this HN comment. LLMs are the most amazing technology I've ever seen. Why all the hate and negativity?

Been a while since I published new Phoenix content! My new blog post is about how to do some things with nested LiveView forms that go slightly beyond the standard add/remove/sort stuff describe in the docs: arrowsmithlabs.com/blog/phoenix...

I want an LLM for my email. “Write a short email to David telling him I’m looking forward to seeing him on Saturday, and ask him what the dress code is. Show it to me for approval before sending.” Much easier than writing it myself. Does this exist yet?

Claude sucks at writing Phoenix - it still uses all the old pre-1.7 syntax like `form_for`, `Routes` etc.. Working around this by writing detailed explanations of the new syntax in my cursorrules but it's a PITA... is there a better way? @elixirlang.bsky.social #MyElixirStatus

Who are the most interesting people talking about coding with AI on Bluesky?

It's a steal!!! Get it if you have the oportunity!

Just ~31 hours left to grab this course at the lower price!

Claude Sonnet 3.7 is great, except that I'm now spending 10% of my time writing prompts or code, and 90% sitting around waiting for Cursor's agent mode to finish. Starting to think I could code while reading a book.

This Sunday I will be doubling the price of my course Mastering Phoenix Forms, from $49 to $99. Get it at the lower price while it's still available: masteringphoenixforms.com

Whoever coded this should be fired:

Underrated Bsky feature: the “for you” tab tells me whether I already follow someone, without me having to click through their profile to check. I wish X did this.

When I'm king of the world, Coca Cola will be rebranded in Spanish-speaking countries to "Cueca Cuela".

Elixir update: Look what arrived! Looking forward to diving into it this weekend.

One VERY noticeable difference between Bluesky and X is how much more responsive Bluesky's web UI is. Everything is just faster: links/buttons load instantly and I feel no tangible delay when clicking anything. The bird app is slow as hell in comparison.

The more I work with JS, either backend or frontend, the more I want to work with Phoenix and LiveView. The JS fatigue is real and finally infected me.

TIL: there's a town in New York called Texas, and a town in Texas called New York.
