Alright... it's all up now 🎉
I walked through the Phoenix 1.8 AGENTS md file, and it was both funny and informative!
You can see the full 25 mins of glory or in parts (on the same page) 👇

Hypothetically speaking... if I were to build an Elixir-focused error and performance tracking tool, what would you like to see in it? 🧐

I'm closing out, for now, my series on questions at the heart of development with an analysis of when we need more abstraction. For example, taking @germsvel.com's advice about architecting more accurate models can reduce future bugs.

For my @elixirconf.bsky.social talk, I'm comparing #ElixirLang's mocking libraries.
It'll be a tournament-style bracket! 🎉
I want to start by introducing the participants! 👇 🧵
What do you think of their characters? 😬

Starting to write my talk for @elixirconf.bsky.social . It's all about mocking libraries in #ElixirLang (idea is for them to duel to see which one is best 😄)
These are the libraries I know of:
👉 meck, mock, mox, hammox, mimic, patch, promox, protomock
Am I missing any?

There are many benefits to testing, but they're also costly. So, why should they exist?
It's a valid question (and something I haven't had to justify in a while, until recently), so I wrote a post that I think captures the core reason.

Why do we write tests?
It's a valid question. Tests, like all other code, are a liability – and therefore, they should earn their right to exist. What's their reason?

Anybody using Neovim with #ElixirLang? Curious about your LSP setup.
Do you use mason, mason-lsp, and nvim-lspconfig? Thinking of migrating from vim -> neovim, but this has me stumped.

DDD is a very interesting topic, but it has a TON of new terminology (and overloaded words). And (I think) most people don't want to read 2 gigantic tomes 📚 to understand the fundamentals (led alone practice it for years for it to sink in). 🧵👇
