I resumed work on a project I started in late 2022 to assist me in my live streams, which is using #ElixirLang, LiveView and Petal Components. It's called Suto.
The basic idea was to have a chat integration with Twitch, plug in some TTS, and have it read messages for me :)

It'so satisfying when you're done setting up Gitea on your own little server, and it has a local runner running your CI :)
57s from build to tests with a small codebase, identical to what I get on Github Actions, with the same YAML workflow. With just a hack for GA/Act Runner PG hostname resolution.

I just updated my #ElixirLang article from 2021 on how to configure an Elixir application. Nothing revolutionary, but it should still be relevant and may help some beginners.

I was very reluctant to try AI agents for writing code, given how bad inline suggestions were 70% of the time
RN I find #ClaudeCode (with #ElixirLang) very good for chores: quick audits, cleanups, coverage checks, some tests
It takes a few iterations to make it work and clean, but it's interesting

Text-To-Speech is such a niche topic that VSCode extensions for developing game mods are more popular 😄
(well, "Text-To-Speech" gives more popular results, but I found that interesting)
Anyway, Piper TTS is a great QoL tool for ingesting paragraphs of docs. Runs locally.
(don't use it on LISP)

While working on a complex web app for a client using Phoenix LiveView, we had to deal with many LiveComponents that interacted with each other, and keeping track of all these moving parts was tough.
So, we came up with a solution.

You're `GenServer.cast`ing and nothing happens?
Well...
Make sure your GenServer is started when you call it 🤦♂️

I was working on a project and remembered you can load a dotenv file without leaking evars all over the place. I wrote a short thing about it:

Le JV français dit adieu à un de ses pionniers : Stéphane Picq, compositeur des BO de Dune, Lost Eden, MegaRace et Commander Blood, s'est éteint à l'âge de 59 ans.
Il avait quitté Cryo en 1998 et publiait ces dernières années depuis Madagascar des remasters de ses OST.
