Yes, it should be "jeopardiSing!"

Do this, but using an LLM so I can control AWS by talking to it. I’d pay big bucks

Avoid live components as much as possible - they’re a ton of extra complexity. (The docs themselves say the same)
See if you can do it as a function component first.
Main reason to use an LC: the behaviour is a) stateful and b) duplicated across multiple LVs

This article is out of date. The LiveView loading indicator is delayed by default in newer versions; it already does what the article suggests to do.

Kudos @thatarrowsmith.bsky.social for your post on auto_reload - it served as the basis for my implementation. arrowsmithlabs.com/blog/iex-con...

Oops, it’s called the “Discover” tab over here, not “For You”. My point still stands.

Very relevant to AI coding.
Yeah it’s a shame that your pre-AI skills aren’t as useful as they were. But if you can’t accept that and don’t embrace the AI wave, you’re going to get crushed.

I'm native, but ESL people tell me the hardest things about English are:
1. insane spelling (and mispronunciations that come from it.)
2. lots of irregularities to memorise (e.g. all the past tense verbs)
3. tons and tons of idioms/turns of phrase/words with multiple meanings
Sound about right?

What about Ruby having all the synonyms? E.g. "map" and "collect" being two names for the same function. (Zillions of other examples.)
I used to like it ("I don't have to remember which is which!") but I've gone off it... it's *more* to learn, not less.

So are we all going to be out of a job soon?

Yeah I host my apps on Gigalixir who are super convenient (great for a solo dev like me) but only affordable for low traffic / hobby apps.
If I ever get a lot more traffic I’ll urgently need to move to AWS.

You can explain this with analogy to English pronouns. Eg “he” = nominative, “him” = accusative

Who could forget this classic piece of “breaking news”?

I’ve seen Opeth 3 times, they’re such a great live band.
(And it’s always funny to see the contrast between Mikael Akerfeldt goofing around telling silly jokes in between songs, then launching into another 15-minute super-serious death metal epic)

Again??
Every time I think about moving to fly I see reports of another outage.

Ooh I have been meaning for ages to implement this exact thing in one of my apps but it's never been urgent enough. I would definitely use this if it was open source!
