När regeringen 2015 svängde i flyktingfrågan talade de om ”andrum”. De gick emot ett folkligt stöd för flyktingmottagande – det var därför det lades fram som en paus. Det verkar vi nu glömt. Skönt att det finns de som minns och ryter till när det byggs myter.

Took the Stack Overflow developer survey. Gleam gets a solid "want to work with" check. Other than that, the survey made me reflect on how happy I am with my current tech stack, professionally.

So. I think it's important to share news about what's happening. But I'm trying to square that with the other reality that it contributes to doomscrolling.

I think we need to start putting these things into context and talking about what we are learning or what we should take away from it.
NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.

1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.

A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

I spoke at Oredev trying to explain and introduce Nerves to a general audience.
If you've been looking for something to show people that should be interested in Nerves for doing cool stuff with hardware and Elixir I'd love if you share it.
