Groxio

Your coding agent picks Python. That’s popularity, not a recommendation. Bruce Tate explains agent language bias, accuracy benchmarks and choosing a language your agent can write well. Free live: Oct 22, noon ET / 16:00 UTC. Register here: grox.io/live

A low token price tells you what you pay, not who bears the rest of the cost. Bruce uses these tools daily and starts a buyer’s guide with four questions the invoice cannot answer. grox.io/blog/57-read...

If the next session starts cold, the code was checkpointed but the project was not. This post is about where AI project state actually belongs. grox.io/blog/52-three-sources-of-truth-where-your-ai-project-actually-lives

A `MapSet` gives you set vocabulary, but the machinery underneath is still map-shaped. The keys matter. The values fade out of the model. grox.io/blog/55-maps...

Vibe coding fails when priors, evidence, and correction all hide the same assumption. Put versions, preferred paths, and fast feedback where the agent can verify its work. grox.io/blog/54-vibe-coding-why-the-wheels-fall-off

The most dangerous AI mistake is not ugly code. It is clean code with the wrong public promise. Review the exported API before the helpers. grox.io/blog/49-reviewing-the-ai-s-work-boundaries-crc-and-the-requirement-it-missed #AIEngineering

Stop sorting repository guidance by importance. Sort it by how often it changes: stable process, generated dependency rules, and pointers to moving project facts. grox.io/blog/57-stable-vs-dynamic-guidance-agents-md-usage-rules-and-claude-md-as-glue

Today 12pm EDT Groxio Live with @redrapids.bsky.social Where does MCP fit in an LLM workflow? Bruce will demo an LLM harness, show MCP in context, and answer questions live. Thursday, September 17 at noon ET / 16:00 UTC. Free: grox.io/live #AIEngineering #ElixirLang

Preparations are in full swing. Hardware, firmware, software, humans, robots. Yesterday I had conversations with catering, the after party venue. We've been processing workshop waitlists. It will be glorious. schedule.txt, schedule.json, are now available as well. goatmire.com #goatmire #elixirlang

Prompting is a familiar discipline on fuzzier material. Treat prompt chains like programs: use small units, clean interfaces, clear layers, and versioned review. Move forward when you decide to. grox.io/blog/58-how-vibe-coding-is-changing-this-training-company #ElixirLang

Hey @elixirconf.bsky.social we’ll see you soon!! #ElixirLang

Today we kick off our online training with Bruce Tate: Reviewable Code in the Age of Agents. Key takeaways:  → A layered prompt architecture for any Phoenix app  → Feedback checkpoints that catch AI drift early  → When to use skills vs. agents vs. tasks Grab your conference pass: elixirconf.com

Groxio Live Today! Building a LiveView Skill from a Refactored Counter. The session shows how to move from one concrete refactor to guidance an agent can apply again. Thursday, September 3. Noon ET / 16:00 UTC. Free to attend live. Register at grox.io/live #ElixirLang

The risk is not using agents. The risk is letting them make architectural decisions before humans have named the shape of the system. @redrapids.bsky.social on yes-pressure, cheap tokens, and why the tab is coming. grox.io/blog/54-the-tab-is-coming #ElixirLang #AiEngineering

Tidewave is not a smarter model. It is the same model with better visibility into your running Phoenix app: docs, logs, schemas, SQL, and project context. grox.io/blog/47-inst...

A struct is still map-shaped, but it gives the data a boundary. That boundary is what lets Elixir reject a misspelled field before the bug moves downstream. Read the blog! grox.io/blog/46-a-st... #ElixirLang

Did you know? @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social has added #Gleamlang to it's CS course!

Today at noon EDT! Bruce Tate Live: Building a LiveView Skill from a Refactored Counter. Finish the counter refactor, name the pattern, and turn it into a reusable LiveView skill an agent can apply again. Thursday, August 20. Noon ET / 16:00 UTC. Free. grox.io/live See you there!

Language choice has a new constraint now: what can an agent reliably build with it? Bruce argues that consistency, operational shape, and training signal matter more than raw GitHub volume. grox.io/blog/47-choo...

🥳🎉Today is the day🎉🥳 @hugobarauna.com, my brother and I are ready to release Elixir for Finance! We've poured all of our knowledge and know how into what we believe is one of the best programming+finance books out there 😍. 👉 financialelixir.dev #ElixirLang #Erlang

Keyword lists are good for short options. Maps carry the rest: fast key access, predictable updates, bulk traversal, and clean conversion back to lists when needed. Read more: grox.io/blog/43-maps... #ElixirLang

Groxio Live with @redrapids.bsky.social is tomorrow Thursday 8/6 12pm EDT! Part 2 of Building a Live Components Alternative and a Skill to Match. Free to attend! Register at grox.io/live #ElixirLang A clip from the last live:

AI is here to stay. That is an observation, not a moral verdict. The real question is whether it pays its own way, respects human work, and makes people more capable instead of more dependent. grox.io/blog/42-pay-... #AIEngineering #ElixirLang

AI adds randomness to the development loop. #ElixirLang pushes back with predictable functions, isolated processes, consistent shapes, and runtime metadata the model can stand on. grox.io/blog/43-why-elixir-is-built-for-ai-assisted-development

Today at 12 EDT! register grox.io/live See when LiveComponent still fits, when explicit state flow is the better default, and how to encode that decision in a skill. #Elixirlang

A short clip from the last @redrapids.bsky.social Groxio Live on July 9th. Join us for the next one: LiveComponent Replacements and Skills on Thursday July 23rd! 12 EDT. grox.io.live #ElixirLang

The old junior apprenticeship taught through typing volume. Agents changed the work. Now the skill is judgment: shaping scope, reviewing structure, preserving prompts, and knowing when generated code should be discarded. Read the blog: grox.io/blog/39-codi...

🤖 🧙‍♀️ Today, Zach Daniel joins Elixir Wizards to walk us through LLM integration at an organizational level and why teams shouldn't "sell their organization's spinal column" by outsourcing the context layer around their AI tools. 🎧️ bit.ly/EWS15E12 📺️ youtu.be/Is1Dg6ywC8U #elixirlang #myelixirstatus

Mid-session drift is not always a model problem. It is often context loss. This post connects context windows, `/compact`, `/clear`, and layered Elixir architecture through one rule: keep the source of truth visible. #AI Read the blog: bit.ly/3Tl5FoF

The junior developer's job did not disappear. It moved from writing first drafts to directing and verifying them. New blog from @redrapids.bsky.social grox.io/blog/37-the-...

A pure functional core gives the model less ambiguity to resolve. That means cleaner tests, a clearer API, and fewer mistakes hiding at the boundary. grox.io/blog/36-design-for-ai-why-pure-functions-make-better-ai-partners

`@doc` is not a prettier comment. In Elixir, documentation is module data that IEx can read, ExDoc can publish, and ExUnit can test. Write the example you would type in IEx, then let `doctest` keep it honest. Read the blog! grox.io/blog/35-your... #ElixirLang

Claude can write a clean architecture plan. That does not make it trusted architecture. Bruce caught a Phoenix auth mistake that looked reasonable and carried security risk. New Blog - grox.io/blog/33-the-... #ElixirLang
