Over the last few months I've been in charge of deep data structure refactors on a big #ElixirLang application. I'll write a detailed blog post with the lessons learnt, but the most important takeaway is to rely on pattern match and guards as much as possible.

Version 0.7 of the #ElixirLang Error Tracker 🐛 is out with improved LiveView support, MariaDB fixes, better sensitive header redaction and an all-new Igniter installer. github.com/elixir-error...

It's official! Igniter support is coming to the next version of #ErrorTracker 🚀. It's already merged on main and will be included in the next release @zachdaniel.dev #ElixirLang

I got a small PR merged into Plug. You could use Plug.RequestID multiple times with different options but it always set the same logger metadata, overriding the previous value with each call. This is configurable now. github.com/elixir-plug/... #myelixirstatus #elixirlang

I wrote about embedding external resources in your #elixirlang application so the compiler can keep track of when they change. crbelaus.com/2025/03/31/e...

My pull request has just been merged! If you use difftastic with #elixirlang (you should! it is amazing) you will notice that changes in ~H sigils are now properly highlighted. github.com/Wilfred/diff...

The #elixirlang ErrorTracker has just surpassed 40k downloads. Codebase has been slowly improving and stabilising since the initial release. We just need a logger handler and then it can be considered "done". github.com/elixir-error...

Amazing to see how well the ErrorTracker and @ash-hq.org work together 🤝

Thread worth reading for #ElixirLang devs.

After using it daily for a few weeks I can confidently say that jj is to git what Tailwind is to CSS. I went from "I don't think this adds any value over vanilla git" to "I don't know how I ever worked without this".

TIL that you can use github.com/michallepick... to install prebuilt Erlang versions with asdf instead of compiling them from source. Much faster and less problematic.

Just compiled my job codebase to #ElixirLang 1.18 rc.0 and it already found dead code (four unused function clauses which were the only callers of some other private functions) and a typing violation (min/2 comparison between two structs).

This entire thread is word reading if you use git. Maybe even if you don't.

So nice to see close collaboration between libraries 👏 Thanks @zachdaniel.dev for your awesome work on @ash-hq.org ❤️ And thanks to @crbelaus.com who is co-maintaining ErrorTracker and made the changes to support it 🧙‍♂️

Awesome stuff! Great for @ash-hq.org users, but you can also get bread crumbs for your errors for free using our standalone splode library: hex.pm/packages/spl...! In anticipation of this release, I went through and added a bunch more breadcrumbs to Ash errors 😎

The @ash-hq.org integration would not have been possible without @zachdaniel.dev help. He is incredibly responsive and helpful. The #ElixirLang community is incredible.

Another milestone reached! So proud of being one of the maintainers of this little but useful library ⚗️💻 #ElixirLang

I want to share something I built for the Elixir community: elixirevents.net ✨ I want to make it easier to find events like conferences and meetups, to help the community grow. Anyone can contribute, events are only visible with admin approval. For feature requests or feedback please let me know! 🙏

The ErrorTracker GitHub repo has just reached 400 stars ⭐️. Nice features coming soon! #ElixirLang github.com/elixir-error...

I've just released a new version of the @bun.sh installer for #ElixirLang. It now supports installing, updating and managing bun on Windows hosts. github.com/crbelaus/bun...

I've been using Qwen2.5-Coder for #ElixirLang through Ollama and Zed. It works surprisingly well for such a small model and is very competent both at writing new code and explaining existing code.

Why did we built an Elixir-based, built-in error tracker? Here's our reasoning. crbelaus.com/2024/07/31/b...

A few improvements are coming no the #ElixirLang ErrorTracker dashboard so it looks (and works) better on small screens. github.com/elixir-error...

Things are coming to the ErrorTracker 🔥 Stay tuned #ElixirLang
