The local DC Elixir group meets up monthly. As always, no matter your BEAM experience, you're always welcome to sit with us #elixirLang #beam

Don't let me near colorful paint. I have either the homosexual audacity and/or mania where sometimes I wake up and decide, I don't like white window frames. #mcm #homeimprovement

Hi Elixir friends, After 3 years on Hologram full-time (transpiles Elixir to the browser), I'm at a crossroads. 60+ hr weeks balancing contracts & dev isn't sustainable. Where we are & how you can help: hologram.page/blog/seeking... Even sharing helps πŸ’œ #Hologram #Elixir #ElixirLang #BEAM #WebDev

The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation CNA now publishes vulnerability data directly to OSV.dev. No more relying solely on CVE→OSV conversion. This update means faster, cleaner, and higher-quality security data for the BEAM ecosystem — including Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, and Hex.pm.

Hey Elixir friends! :) We need help completing Elixir's browser runtime by porting some Erlang functions to JavaScript. No Erlang knowledge required. Each function unlocks multiple Elixir stdlib functions! More here: hologram.page/blog/elixir-... #Hologram #Elixir #ElixirLang #BEAM #WebDev

My best friend, Jazz, passed away in her sleep this morning surrounded by me and her son, AJ. She started life as a show dog, then came into my life and I couldn't have asked for a better friend. #dogs #rip

If you are looking for Elixir consultation, then I have some free slots available now.

Hauleth@hauleth.dev

Hi Bsky hivemind, is anyone looking for seasoned #ElixirLang developer? EMEA-based, fully remote. Either consulting or full-time.

It was a blast to meet everyone! Any DC area Elixir/Erlang/Gleam folks, come join us for the next meetup. #elixirlang #erlang #gleam

Following the wave of successful Global Elixir Meetups last week, we are excited to announce the launch of Nerves Meetup EU! We're a remote meetup with a focus of #ElixirLang on embedded systems via #Nerves. We meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm CET via Zoom nervesmeetup.eu

My copy of The BEAM Book arrived πŸ˜€ It's chonkier than I imagined but fits nicely with my other desk references #elixirlang #erlang

Maybe most of #ElixirLang folks won’t care, but for those of you using npm in your projects, please pay attention to this 0-day attack! www.aikido.dev/blog/npm-deb... Tons of npm packages compromised. Make sure to check your apps and local envs too, especially if you do anything crypto-related.
