I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important From this interview with @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/tdd-ai-age...

I have once again been nerd-sniped by @lpil.uk into writing a Gleam package. This time, it's a lightweight, high-perf client for Redis-compatible databases, called Valkyrie! The library includes a connection pool, and has been tested against Redis, Valkey, KeyDB and Dragonfly.

This is probably true about the initial idea of any project, whether game dev, regular dev, artistic, a home project, etc. It’s probably way bigger than is needed.

🔥 Phoenix.new isn't just another dev tool – it's a coding agent that gives you complete root shell access in ephemeral VMs. Build real-time apps, experiment with dependencies, break things, then rebuild without ever touching your local machine. 🔗 ➡️ fly.io/blog/phoenix... 🔗 ➡️ phoenix.new

2 years have passed since I wrote my "Contesting Contexts" and I still find it a good idea (maybe with slight adjustments). Probably a good time to write a demo app using these concepts. katafrakt.me/quick/contes... #ElixirLang

My talk at the last #SFRuby explained how with @activeagents.ai, Agents work inside Rails apps using MVC structure. Agents are Controllers, with public methods becoming callable actions, great for building chatbots and autonomous operations. And there's cats... 😺 youtube.com/shorts/KSi15...

Things I have not heard much talk about recently, but are v important as devs: - Staying close to users/customers - Working well w design (when building delightful experiences for users) - Maintainability of software we build - Automation vs monitoring tradeoffs What else?

NEVER buy anything Adobe. Adobe is the example of what greed does to a company. No matter how outraged people are; no matter that the FTC is suing Adobe and executives for this practice; Adobe keeps doing it. I got scammed by this same practice in 2020 the same way: I switched to Affinity instead.

Finally spent a little time writing up my impressions of Cursor. tl;dr - it's really good, but you have to be careful with how you use it. I think I need to write a starter guide/crash course on using AI to code.

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it? To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

Elixir 1.19 is a banger! Honestly I'm so pleased with the direction that #ElixirLang is going. My programs just get faster and more correct every time. I just know that we're in good hands. Thank you to everyone on the team for your hard work! github.com/elixir-lang/...

This article links tech layoffs that started in 2022 to a Section 174 change in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which ended immediate R&D write-offs. The assumption was companies using savings from the tax cuts to cover the increased tax bill on R&D spending. Instead they’ve cut headcount.

Cloudflare open sourced an OAuth library that was almost entirely vibe coded using Claude. They also shared the prompts that led to completed library which is an interesting study. We’re in a weird intermediate period where you need to know both programming and telling an AI what to program.

The word “login” comes from throwing a log attached to a rope with knots overboard a ship to see how many knots go by over time (see also, knots as speed). You’d then put that info in the “log book.” You’d “log in” on a regular basis. This wasn’t from 1959, it was likely from 1689! Etymology baby!

Can you build a truly native app with Svelte? Not yet, but we’re working on it. We’ve been busy building a custom renderer API, and just ran a real Svelte app natively on a phone with Lynx. This is still a work-in-progress, but it's a big step forward. 🧵1/2

A piece of career advice I give people I mentor is to go where you are valued. It means it’s important to be in a role where you are respected, recognized and rewarded. Sometimes despite tenure, it’s better to leave and accelerate your career trajectory versus staying where you’ve been written off.

😎 New package `usage_rules` released! Just place a `usage-rules.md` file in your package and users can sync it to their own rules. Good rules leads to a night and day difference when using LLMs. But we shouldn't all be having to teach LLMs how to use our tools right 😅 #AshFramework #ElixirLang
