I've been super quiet on socials (because everything is a screaming burning hell for everyone amirite) but I'll try to post a bit more. What better excuse than the first 1.0 release of Gettext for @elixir-lang.org, which is 10+ years old?! Fresh of an Hex near you???

I wrote about something very close to my heart: how to make ALL the tests async in @elixir-lang.org.

How to Async Tests in Elixir
It can be hard to keep tests asynchronous as Elixir applications grow in size and complexity. Let's see why, and explore fixes.

#elixir community!
I’m trying to write a blog post and need some sources/data.
Could you please run "mix test" on one or more of your @elixir-lang.org codebases and report results?
I’m looking for:
1. # of tests
2. # of async tests
3. Total time sync
4. Total time async

How do you avoid the trap of having to allow notifs from an app (Uber for example) and then the app spams you with shit non-relevant notifications about promotions and other stuff?

I played around with an @obsidian.md theme for my own usage, I might open it up if I get to polish it enough 🙃

I've been wearing this lil fucker for the past few months. I appreciate beautiful watches but man. No charging, no notifications. I wouldn't be able to break it if I tried. Looks kick ass like I’m an 80s cool kid or something. The hell

Interesting read by @mitsuhiko.at. I think this applies to lots of use cases. It does make software harder in some way IMO, but "hard software" is generally easier to solve than "software that needs to be used for a long time". Thoughts?

Living in non-English speaking countries makes buying books like this a nightmare 🥲 In Italy at least, I don't really know of alternatives to the mogul
Bookstores make more than a third of their money between now & New Year.
Amazon doesn't need your business, bookstores do.

Pairing. So fascinating. So it's called "pair programming" but I've recently experienced folks who *mandate* pair programming on employees—8h/day. Do you think pairing is helpful for anything other than programming? Learning, technical writing, whathaveya

I used to feel quite strongly on AI (in a bad way) but I think I’m turning around. I’m getting a lot of help when learning stuff by chatting through it with an LLM for example. The environmental concerns are still there though, especially when it comes to training the models.

I think Apple's software offering is good these days—Reminders, Notes, and cal especially.
Wish they made things more open for interop though. Say, being able to get Reminders into Obsidian without a fragile AppleScript spell and stuff like that.
