"It depends" is a valid answer to many things, as @PragTob often reminds us. But when it comes to attending #AlchemyConf2025, you’ve got to make a choice: Yes or Yes? 🙂
🎙️ @zamith spoke with @PragTob about his decade working with Elixir. Tobias and @subvisual go way back—he spoke at @rubyconfpt in 2016! The conversation brought back memories of how he was using and advocating for #ElixirLang even then. #MyElixirStatus youtube.com/watch?v=_-645Q…

There won't be a December meetup, sorry! Happy holidays and then a "guten Rutsch" to everyone. We'll probably see you in January!
I want to share something I built for the Elixir community: elixirevents.net✨ I want to make it easier to find events like conferences and meetups, to help the community grow. For feature requests or feedback please let me know! 🙏 #myelixirstatus #elixirlang
This afternoon I submitted an issue to the @JRuby team. Five hours later they had the fix ready to merge. I'm seriously impressed.

Should be time to finally move off of this ever increasing hole. Mastodon hasn't quite worked for me, blue sky seems nice and feels a lot like old Twitter.
Saying you don’t need Erlang/Elixir because you have k8s, is like saying you don’t need to restart applications, you will just shut your whole machine off and on.
Gotta run that on Benchee & friends 👀👀👀
Woot, Elixir's v1.18 type system found dead code, for free (no changes to code required):

We're meeting today at Lufthansa Innovation Hub! There will be some food (wraps, sandwiches). We'll dig into Retrieval Augmented Reality and mechanical sympathy with @amrAbdelwahab and @timkaechele ! You can also give a lightning talk! rug-b.de/events/novembe…
Finally finished my "bug-hunt trinity" - finding a bug in every major (backend-) programming language I've used! I now got Ruby, Erlang and Elixir. Thank you everyone for your great work! 💚 github.com/elixir-lang/el… #MyElixirStatus
