Calling multiple services doesn't have to be a nightmare.

My latest video explores Reactor for workflow orchestration. Concurrent execution, automatic rollbacks on failure, and of course: it works with Ash AI.

Emacs 30.1 just shipped with Elixir and HEEx support: www.gnu.org/savannah-che...

It took over 2 years and is pretty basic at the moment, but hopefully someone finds it useful.

We saw tons of progress on Elixir's type system in 2024. We started the year with a Best Paper award, then Elixir v1.17 in May with data-type warnings, and now Elixir v1.18 with type checking + inference on function calls.

Today I started working on v1.19, I'll share more here as it progresses!

I bought wkirschbaum.com just so that I can try out the bluesky domain handle feature. Maybe I should consider putting a website up there or something 😆.

MSG is fine for your health. Most (if not all) of the people who think that they are sensitive to MSG are provably wrong.

I have 2 commits on my local #emacs for over a month now, because the ~30 minutes it takes to prep and email it to the mailing list takes just enough effort to delay submitting the patches. I understand the issues with github-style PR's, but in practice it seems more efficient.
