Inspired by... [gestures broadly], I'm moving permanently to the other platforms. Come hang out with me where the sky is blue (@-tylerayoung[dot]com), or on the mammoth platform (@tylerayoung@fosstodon.org)
Ooh, shiny
Woohoo! I'll be speaking in person at ElixirConf 2025, with a talk called "Cat and Mouse: Challenge in Adversarial Web Scraping." I'm gonna talk about all the stuff I learned about finally doing scraping well after 3 attempts at it in my career. 😄
Render continuing to kill it.
You can now wait for in-progress deploys to finish before triggering the next one. Set your overlapping deploy policy to "wait" and keep shipping during busy sprints: render.com/docs/deploys#h…
Most people live their lives in between these 2 emotions- 1. Hope that if they achieve something, they will find happiness. 2. Fear that if they lose what they have, they will never be happy. The day you understand neither of them are actually true is the day you are free.
If you had 3 wishes to spend on fixing devex gripes in your Elixir codebase, how would you spend them?
🎧 New episode with @chris_mccord! The creator of @elixirlang's Phoenix framework tells us about his remote AI runtime for building Phoenix apps 🕹️ Along the way, we vibe code one of @jerodsanto's app ideas, calculate all the money we’re going to spend on these tools, and get…
Due to recent discussions about Phoenix contexts, I'm sharing the articles I wrote a few years ago which present my view on code org in a Phoenix app: medium.com/very-big-thing… medium.com/very-big-thing… medium.com/very-big-thing… A more recent code example github.com/sasa1977/mix_p…
Suppose you have a simple feature that can be implemented via a small amount of either CSS or JavaScript (a button to toggle visibility of another block, for instance). Which do you prefer?
phoenix.new is publicly available! I can't wait to see what folks build and where this goes! - remote AI runtime for full-stack app building, github workflows, etc - Full in browser IDE and xterm, with root - Preview URLs for any port fly.io/blog/phoenix-n…
I am really looking forward to Phoenix LiveView 1.1 🔥 - Colocated Hooks - Keyed Comprehensions - New portal component (useful for dialogs) - Types for public interfaces and many more additions. The Phoenix Team cooked 👨🍳 #MyElixirStatus
ex_unit tip: You definitely have successful tests that still print something out to the STDOUT. I see you. I know you do. To get that beautiful stream of green periods instead, all you got to do is add: @tag :capture_log above any test you wanna silence.
Elixir 1.19 is a banger! 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/el… #MyElixirStatus
A bunch of ElixirConf 2024 videos were released a few days ago, including mine. 🎉 “More Testing, Fewer Tests” goes into the many ways to make your tests more concise and communicative. youtu.be/24q8WNgYrJE
Do I know anyone at Paddle? We would love to contribute Elixir snippets to the official docs. :D
📢 CFP + Sponsorship now open! 🗓️ ExMex Conf: Nov 6–7 in Austin, TX 🎙️ Got something to share? 🤝 Want to help make this Elixir event happen? Let’s build it together 👉 exmexconf.com #MyElixirStatus #ExMexConf
TIL that SmartRent forked the #ElixirLang Styler project to actually make it configurable. Quokka is the Credo-but-just-fix-it-for-me that I've wanted for 6 years of doing Elixir. 😍 😍 😍 github.com/smartrent/quok…
