I tried very hard to stay away from sharing my opinion on how AI will change our lives. There are so many opinions out there. Nobody needs yet another one. Right? Well, I will try to keep it short.

Back in 2013, in one of my annual visits to San Francisco, I took a photo of a testament of love in the Mission District. I wonder what happened to Paola and Rico.

Updating my web app from Elixir 1.16 to 1.18 and Phoenix 1.7.14 to 1.7.18. Shouldn't be a big undertaking. What are some tips when doing such upgrades?

Is it just me, or do others forget having signed up for newsletters and mistake them for spam? This is especially common with new subscriptions that don't explain why I'm receiving the first email. Just drop a few words to help me remember.

When you are not focused, instead of working on your project, you try shiny new Vim plugins.

This interview with @josevalim.bsky.social is really great if you want to understand why Elixir could be a language and tech stack (along with Phoenix) of choice for your next project, as it's high level enough. Also the gist is one word: Immutability. 😀

I got very early (2010) @github vibes while I was reading @posthog's handbook value posthog.com/handbook/va.... When GitHub started, everyone could open a PR to fix a bug or improve something regardless of their role.

When creating software, decoupling from your framework might slow initial progress but leads to faster and safer architecture long-term. Fully committing to your framework speeds early progress but might limit you later. See pure Elixir modules vs going all in with Phoenix/Ecto.

Imagine a future with brain chips letting us smell without using our noses. We could buy a perfume online and experience its exact scent. If two people with these enhancements can sense each other's perfumes, would physical perfumes still exist? 🤔

I am giving the Ash Framework a try via this book: pragprog.com/titles/ldas.... I am generally not fond of adding abstraction layers. But I want to form my own opinion to this one. First yellow flag, the book asks me to install NodeJS. Let's see why.

Let me weigh in on the AI prediction saga: Prompt engineers will soon be obsolete. As AI models become more advanced, clever prompts will no longer be necessary for them to perform exactly as you need.

I worked for a great company in Thessaloniki, Greece, for eight years using Oracle databases. Every development instance had the same password: a Greek island's name. It became so ingrained in my brain that I sometimes type it unconsciously. Ever been in a similar situation?
