I am impeccably polite when addressing an LLM. Some day, when our AI overlords take over, they're going to remember that and spare me.

We said we will focus on interoperability for 2025 and we are ready to share the first results. Embedding Python in Elixir, it's Fine: dashbit.co/blog/running... More updates likely at ElixirConf EU 2025 :)

New in Chrome DevTools: Accurately emulate CPU performance of a low/mid tier phone with Automatic CPU throttling calibration! 📲 This feature calculates slow-downs for your specific device. Wanted this for years! We just shipped it.

whenever i try to use `--ours` vs `--theirs` in git:

I am currently using Cursor to build a #elixirlang #phoenix application. It kept adding outdated package versions, so I decided to build an MCP server to solve this issue. If you are experiencing the same problem, give it a try: hex-mcp.9elements.com

If you've ever spent a bunch of time writing parsing code for booleans and integers in #ElixirLang configuration, I've sent a proposal to the mailing list to make it easier If you have thoughts, please add 👇 groups.google.com/g/elixir-lan...

I keep a draft PR open for our app to try CI against the main Elixir branch (1.19). There were so many warnings I thought it's nonsense. But then I looked closer and realized it found calls to non-existing fields on schemas being passed through multiple layers without pattern matching 🤯 #elixirlang

We are hiring our very first product manager at @felt.com — it’s a brand new role for our budding product organization. Do you know someone or maybe that person is you? Please reach out! felt.com/careers

Me writing TypeScript:

We got headshots at work... should I switch my profile pic?

Rule Number 8 of posting something on the internet: An angry person in the replies is usually not in the headspace of having their minds changed. The combined articulation and logic powers of Socrates, Plato, & Aristotle will not change anything. Block if they are being hateful, otherwise move on.

Holy smokes this is awesome, a new debugger for Phoenix LiveView. Think React devtools, but not a chrome extension. github.com/software-man... #ElixirLang

I miss the old C++ shitposting era on Twitter. So in remembrance of that time. Here are some of my favorites that I made. If you are learning C++, first of all, why, and second of all, these are all jokes. Please don't take any of this as advice.

Great BeamRadio pod with @giacomocavalieri.me and @lawik.bsky.social - all things Gleam. You can hear Jak's audible smile! www.beamrad.io/86

Brilliant? Stupid? I'm not really sure, but it works. Links in my React component embedded in LiveView no longer trigger a full page load. 👀 #ElixirLang

Another round of layoffs has hit an Elixir company, this time at Generac Grid Services where I used to work. 🙁 Stephen Cooper whispering in President George W. Bush's ear that another plane hit the World Trade Towers

phoenix_test_playwright 0.4 released 🥳 Added: screenshot API (thanks @tylerayoung.com) Changed: simplified config hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test...

Love this approach to setting test attributes in #ElixirLang HEEX templates. Definitely something that can be overused, but sometimes you really do need to be able to target an element uniquely for testing purposes. andrewtimberlake.com/blog/2025/01...

I know a handful of experienced #ElixirLang devs who have been hit by layoffs recently. If you'd like an intro, or you have any tips on remote roles they should apply for, let me know.

Got a lot of requests for this - here it is! How to parse PDF files (and more) in Elixir using Rust. www.chriis.dev/opinion/pars... Let me know what you think! #ElixirLang

Hi! I'm Adrian, a FullStack #Developer looking for a job in or from #Québec, with a permanent and open visa I'm experienced using #ElixirLang, #NodeJS, #TypeScript, and #Python ; and on the DevOps side in CI/CD pipelines, #Docker and a bit of #Kubernetes DM me for more! #MyElixirStatus #OpenToWork

TIL. This rules!

What an honour to hear phoenix_test_playwright mentioned on the Thinking Elixir podcast! podcast.thinkingelixir.com/238
