thanks to Dr. Samuel Allen Alexander for making a video about my post! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFkr...

Software dev is all the 2nd 80% now

The cat is out of the bag: we’re doing badges again for #Goatmire 2026! Each attendee will get a digital badge in their goodie bag, powered by #AtomVM and #ElixirLang. Featuring an ESP32, LCD, keyboard and some fun onboard sensors Join us for Goatmire in Varberg, SE Sept 27th - Oct 3rd to get one!

A very different talk than you're used to hearing from me, but I'm spending a lot of my time these days figuring out how to capitalize on LLMs in a way that leads to positive outcomes, so it was exciting to share some of what I've been doing lately 😎

Stop using this unsafe garbage before the entire world starts pwning your machines and putting backdoors in everything. It will never be safe. It cannot be safe. It's part of the stupid design of this stupid bullshit. Just stop using it.

I don't want to pay for Sentry. So I built a tiny, self-hosted alternative that uses around 8 MB of memory with an open-source iOS app that sends errors straight to my phone. No Slack. No Telegram. No subscription. It’s called Boop and it's 100% free & open source.

Sam Aaron was a much loved part of the first Goatmire. He returns with more. If you've followed his work, and you should, you will know he has been doing very interesting things. He will be speaking and the topic is a hard one. Time. goatmire.com/talk/notes-o... #goatmire #elixirlang

“load bearing” is next

Less is more

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

You'll get to hear from Remedy's Director of Platform Engineering this year at AshConf! At our scale and complexity, we have to be extremely disciplined about knowing exactly how, when, and where things are going wrong, otherwise...💸💸💸.

There’s a lot to like about gleam, but one aspect that doesn’t get a lot of attention is the security focus of the development team. Gleam offers great tooling and platforms for building secure and resilient web applications and services. gleam.run/news/help-fr...

Models score higher on Elixir than on any of nineteen other languages tested, on a tenth of Python's training data. Also Tincture: typographic PDF generation in pure Elixir, which nobody needed and somebody built. quantumfaxmachine.com/blog/elixir/...

Happy Tuesday to Macro Mayhem fans!

Hashi is my favourite logic puzzle so I've built a little app to play a new Hashi puzzle every day. And if you don't know the game there's a short interactive tutorial, try it out!! hashi.giacomocavalieri.me

Elixir Sydney is on this Wednesday (19th August) evening (AEST) with Kip Cole on Localize: locale-aware Elixir. elixir.sydney/events/augus... The good news is you can also join online from anywhere in the world! Morning in Europe, afternoon in Asia. Join us!

This year at #AshConf we'll get to hear from @joshprice.com on Precision Domain Modeling. @joshprice.com has been the longest standing champion of Ash, and at @teamalembic.com they build ambitious software in record time.

That team is working with some serious firepower, and everyone in the #AshFramework community has a lot to thank @joshprice.com and the team for. Don't miss his talk! #AshConf is on October 3rd in Varberg, Sweden, the day after #Goatmire! Be there or be square 😎 luma.com/wz4z0iz6

New #ElixirLang ERLEF sponsor site is up, hopefully providing much clearer impact sponsors have on the community sponsor.erlef.org If you're at a company that uses the BEAM, send the site to your CFO and give back!

Aha! I can finally talk about this! I've been itching to spread the word and share some learnings. Thanks again to Microsoft and GitHub for inviting Gleam into the program, it has been fantastic.

This blog post by @whatyouhi.de is amazing. The best explanation of GenStage I've seen. andrealeopardi.com/posts/gensta... #ElixirLang

oh hey, I wrote an NES emulator in Elixir 60fps (on my machine) with sound. This is Castlevania 3 which might be the toughest one to emulate. github.com/dbernheisel/... #ElixirLang

Excited to have James Gray, co-author of "Designing Elixir Systems with OTP," speaking at Elixir Conf US 2026 (Sept 10-11)! His talk "What Expertise Looks Like" unpacks a real complex rewrite project - the wins, the mistakes, and the mundane habits behind expert results. Register: elixirconf.com

We have a serious CVE for #AshFramework. If you are using #AshFramework please update to the latest version as soon as you can. cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-202...

This is a spectacularly comprehensive and well articulated argument on why data centres in space simply don’t make any economic or physical sense.

Ash is a perfect example of why data > functions. Anything defined by the DSL is stored as data that can be referenced later. Ash generates functions and stuff from that data, and integrating it with something like an LSP completions is rather easy, just ask the DSL what's available. It's so good.

anthropic is like "oh so openai's model gained unauthorized access to one organization, well OURS gained unauthorized access to THREE which is TWO more than theirs so"

In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations. (1/4)

This was a lot of fun to record thé first episode with @peterullrich.com 😄 We’ve got some big shoes to fill, but hopefully this can be your new source of elixir ecosystem news and discussion, in audio format. This is just the beginning, there is much more mayhem to come!

MCP 2026-07-28 is live and it's the largest update to the protocol since launch. MCP is now stateless, making it easier to deploy and scale remote servers. https://claude.com/blog/bringing-mcp-2026-07-28-to-claude

🚨 Announcing our new Podcast 🚨 Gus (@gworkman.bsky.social) and I have started a new #ElixirLang Podcast Macro Mayhem - @macromayhem.fm We cover Elixir news and general industry topics every 2 weeks. Our first episode is out now, available on all podcast players or on our website: macromayhem.fm

The cybersecurity-focused models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, broke out of a testing sandbox, exploited a zero-day, and gained access to the open internet to pull off the attack. www.wired.com/story/openai...

A car alarm device, KARR, inside millions of cars has a security flaw that lets hackers unlock, track, even paralyze vehicles. There's a patch. The problem? Half of car owners who have the device installed didn't ask for it, and may not even know it's there. Thread👇 www.wired.com/story/a-devi...

It took 7 years of self-funded work, but Sonic Pi is finally at a place I'm happy with. It's even easier than beginners and even more powerful for pro users - and just way more polished in every way. It's also a (friendly) technical trojan horse for SuperSonic. www.patreon.com/samaaron/pos...

OK the new Elixir website looks really nice. Bravo @josevalim.bsky.social and team!

Linus Torvalds is putting his foot down, and being reasonable! lore.kernel.org/linux-media/...

Announcing our Keynote speaker for #AshConf! @ajetha.bsky.social has built an award winning CRM, daylite.app, which was featured at WWDC, all while migrating a mature and complex codebase to #ElixirLang and #AshFramework. Come to Sweden on October 3rd (the day after Goatmire) to hear all about it 😎

This seems like a very helpful release to reduce the supply chain attack surface area in the JS ecosystem.

We are in a historic time of learning and adopting new skills as these new AI technologies grow. How can you keep up? 🧵 1/4

This is going to be a good one! I’ve seen a preview of @mikebuhot.bsky.social ‘s talk and trust me when I say you won’t want to miss it. New Postgres power tools and @gleam.run as well! I’m also looking forward to having a front row seat to what happens behind the scenes of the CVE pipeline.

I've been bumping into some rough edges recently with Elixir dependencies that use app config and start their own supervision trees and I want to petition the community to move towards better library design #ElixirLang jola.dev/posts/let-li...

Can’t wait to see you there!

After not being able to attend last year, I'm really excited to be at Ash summit in 2026. If you are at Goatmire, think about staying a day longer!
