Apparently ThePrimeagen will be writing an app in Elixir (live on Twitch), then inviting @josevalim.bsky.social to the broadcast to rewrite it together. That seems like a pretty dope approach for learning a language. And sharing the gospel of #elixir of course.

Philip Munksgaard created an Elixir wrapper for libtailscale, so it's now possible to run a Phoenix application that is automatically connected to your tailnet.

Amazing work.

Introducing Tidewave: tidewave.ai

While working on our web apps, we run code, query the database, read logs, search docs… but our AI tools are limited to reading code.

Tidewave closes this gap by introducing Runtime Intelligence, for Phoenix and Rails. More coming soon, check out the website!

I finally found the 2025 way of interacting with cookies from a LiveView. Much thanks to @steffend.me!

Pretty elegant, hope it gets merged into LiveView soon.

I'm excited to share that I created a font!

It is monospaced, and designed to be used in code editors and terminals. Fellow programmers, do try it out and give me some feedback!

First post (skeet?) here!

I was looking through the ingress-nginx documentation when this magic URL localdev(dot)me caught my eye.

Wrote a short blog post about it here:
