Oban alone is worth switching stacks for. I haven't seen an as powerful, easy to run and polished background job processor in any other stack.

I am tired of having to justify “Why Elixir?” so I decided to compile all the reasons in one place.

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?
To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.
In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

L'occasion de rappeler que la déforestation induite par l'extraction est bien davantage le fait de l'extraction d'or et de charbons que des métaux pour la transition. Que les discours "anti-mines" se concentrent contre la transition est très étrange.

Amazing TIL for #ElixirLang
If you set

then are in an iex shell and press ESCAPE+o
You enter your editor and can make multiline commands to run in the shell.
Save and quit to execute.

Quand on y pense, le téléphone est l'une des inventions les plus cinglées du siècle. On a créé un appareil qui hurlait dans la maison, et tu devais arrêter tout ce que tu étais en train de faire pour te précipiter et parler à quelqu'un qui avait ton numéro. Même pas forcément un proche ou un ami.
De plus en plus de personnes, notamment les plus jeunes utilisateurs, ne décrochent plus leur téléphone.
