Quokka is always the first dependency I add to every new project. Such a great tool! And no more “oh my editor formatted it differently, sorry” or “damn I forgot to sort my aliases and now my CI failed”. Brilliant
There’s a new release of Quokka, and it’s a big one. Lots of both new and improved rewrites to automatically make your codebase nicer. 💜

Anybody have contacts at PagerDuty? I’d love to ask them about their usage of #ElixirLang. They had a blog post in 2020 about it, but I can’t find anything they’ve written since then.

TIL Oban's unique job period uses fixed time windows, not sliding windows.
A job with unique: [period: {7, :days}] can still allow duplicates 2 days apart if they fall into different buckets.
If you need sliding windows, use a custom query.

Got a few PRs in flight for Credo which cumulatively dropped the runtime from ~33 seconds down to ~9 on our 3500 file #ElixirLang codebase at work. 😁
