Me? No, I would never financially pay for an open source ecosystem. I’d much rather pay indirectly through elaborate systemic consequences. That lets me still find people to be mad at, and that’s comforting. Also think of the content.

Few screws and late batteries aside. It is shocking how few things failed at Goatmire. Two speakers had demos that disappointed them. Both talks landed well regardless. We had tech that should have been in the theatrics that didn't fire properly and was just cut. But most things worked. #goatmire

I am absolutely over the moon about this 😁 The #Goatmire badge (running #AtomVM) controlling the Goatmire balance bot (running #Nerves and #BeamBots, rendering display with #Emerge) via #Erlang distribution Thanks @lawik.bsky.social for the display PR 🫶

Not only did they sponsor the conference. Not only do they help you fix your cloud platforms. They also write conference reports! Thanks Ellie 💖 beamops.co.uk/blog/goatmir... #goatmire #elixirlang

Hiya all, here's my Goatmire 2026 personal diary notes. I had such a great time at the conference. I got to try on so many different hats, some of which I haven't worn in quite some time, or have never worn at all! ellyxir.com/posts/goatmi... #goatmire

The talk was very normal I heard!

With all the excitement of ElixirConf in your bones. Time to book that quick trip to Sweden ;) Come for the affordable ticket. Stay because you can't afford to travel back home. goatmire.com #goatmire #elixirlang

I retired bobs-list.kobrakai.de today. Hex Bob has its own dashboard now at bob.hex.pm and elixir builds are even done by elixirs own CI anyways. The times of an elixir release without asdf/mise resources ready have been gone for a while. Erlang and docker builds however are still done by bob.

Two a11y engineering roles (one of them early career!) at Apple in London in the team my daughter manages. These sound like excellent roles to share with UK a11y folks. jobs.apple.com/en-gb/detail... jobs.apple.com/en-gb/detail...

Bravo @jtdowney.com for adding password hashing algorithms Erlang's crypto module! So many NIFs can be removed from so many web applications when this is released, hype! github.com/erlang/otp/p...

Probably not news to some, but I found this a great quick overview on how to tackle alarm fatique: youtu.be/Ira28fgSF7M?...

Hello #ElixirLang Does anyone look for principal/senior level developer? Either permanent or contract. I have experience in performance optimisations and observability of Elixir and Erlang codebases. CV available at hauleth.dev/cv @sifa.id profile sifa.id/p/hauleth.dev

Goatmire is happening this year. No Goatmire 2027. We need space for normal life. This is a break, 2028 is an open question. If you want to attend Goatmire Elixir, this one is it for a while. A six day Elixir festival. We are very excited for it. Then rest. goatmire.com #elixirlang #goatmire

this little article is sixteen years old today: alistapart.com/article/resp... feels deeply weird that it’s that old. the pub date feels like it’s two lifetimes ago and two weeks ago, all at the same time.

I only recently learned about rendezvous hashing, an alternative to consistent hashing, and I ended up doing a little deep dive and then I wrote a small library for Elixir. For node counts <20 it performs as well as ExHashRing, but as a pure function jola.dev/posts/highes... #ElixirLang

"our design takes death seriously .. managed with dignity" Evadne Wu consistently gives fascinating talks. We were very selective with what agent-oriented talks we accepted for Goatmire. She hit some really interesting points. goatmire.com/talk/the-reb... #goatmire #elixirlang

Been thinking about how much JavaScript we ship for basic UI patterns. Wrote it up. Anchor positioning, Popover API, Scroll-Driven Animations and more — what they replace and what's still missing 👉 blog.gitbutler.com/the-great-cs...

Can Erlang run on QNX? Turns out: yes ✅ In this article, @maennchen.dev explores what it takes to port Erlang/OTP to QNX. A great example of curiosity turning into concrete results. erlef.org/blog/eef/otp...

I was thinking since Goatmire Elixir turned out pretty good I should maybe do another one. 30th of Sep - 2nd of Oct this year. We have a list to notify you about the progress and when tickets drop, getting on that list also helps indicate interest. www.goatmire.com #elixirlang #goatmire

Maybe it really does come down to there basically being IRL PvE people and IRL PvP people. The latter will never be happy just getting along with the former. And the former will always be vexed why some people just want to ruin everything.

The rush is slowing down, but still in awe of the great time I had at goatmire conference. Giving a talk felt like such a privilage with all the other amazing speakers I was sharing the stage with. Lots of lovely people to meet and reunite with. Just the perfect package. 📷 by @petterbos.bsky.social

There‘s still a bit to go to making this happen. Rebar is an important piece to using erlang not just for erlang, but just as much for elixir, gleam, … Consider backing this effort.

I just backed From Rebar3 to Rebar4: Integrating with Erlang/OTP on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/pee...

The Groxio team—Bruce Tate, Paulo Valim, and myself—are fresh off of a project where we helped scale an application and its development team all the way to launch. If your company could use #ElixirLang #Consulting help from one or more of us, let’s talk! groxio.com

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

Our GitHub repository is now public! github.com/elixir-lang/...

I'm so ready for an LSP making use of the elixir 1.18 compiler listener features. It feels like the only reason elixir-ls gets stuck for me: dependencies having changes in a way it wouldn't want to compile to .elixir-ls anymore.

I just watched 30 seconds and she delivered like a while internet of amusement in that time.

📣 Are you an Elixir/Phoenix/Javascript engineer with a commitment to security? The community needs you! elixirforum.com/t/webauthnli... #elixir-lang #phoenix-framework #javascript #security #passkeys

I've never worked on anything of the scale where @csswizardry.com expertise would be necessary, but if you're in need of advice around caching and/or client side performance you should speak to him.

This is really awesome. Waterpark is already an exciting project, so hopefully this can be useful to even more people.

This strategy is working for me in spades: - view transitions - scroll-driven animations - popover - masonry - web components? - carousels Never under-estimate my ability to wait 10 years for something to come to the platform.

The guts of the first prototype. Had to solder on a few bodge wires to make it work. The final version has these issues fixed, and the order has been placed! #Nerves #Hardware #Electronics

Maybe I can nerd snipe anyone into making this work with UTM on mac os. Having a UI to run a cluster of nerves devices would be awesome ✨ There have been attempts, but none successful.

I recently watched this and while it's a really interesting dive into some of the history in programming languages it also feels like a great sell for how elixir works with pattern matching as well as behaviours and protocols. It's a long video, but there's an intermission and long QA.

🎙️ @maennchen.dev joins the latest @openssf.org podcast! In this SOSS episode, he shares how the Erlang community is proactively addressing security concerns, why manufacturers are investing in upstream projects — and what other ecosystems can learn from their approach. Listen! shorturl.at/iKdG7

This changes how you’ll demo, teach, and explore Elixir. New Popcorn release coming tomorrow – here's a sneak peek of what's to come 🍿 #ElixirLang

This is a great take on agentic workflows. My personal addition: Making it easier for a human to succeed makes it easier for AI to succeed – a wild concept.

View Transitions let web apps go back to this model: User -> URL -> Web server -> Database -> HTML with forms -> User

Gleam sponsorship has been slowly dropping over the last few months. The project is free from influence by any corporation, but it means the team and I need your support! Just a few dollars makes a big difference, so please sponsor if you appreciate Gleam. github.com/sponsors/lpil

I'll be taking my first stab at a talk, where I won't be showing much or any code. I hope I can deliver on moving some state living in my head to the attendees :)

On the topic of LSP crashes: I've seen none of these in recent months and rarely ones since switching to zed last year. Contrasting this to vscode, where I had to deal with the LSP on the weekly. Not sure where this difference comes from, but hard to see this as an issue we can fix.

Fortunately/unfortunately Goatmire is not sold out yet. I just goofed a bit on the backend.

I'll also add that while there's a lot of discussion on generators and phoenix defaults there's surprisingly little in phoenix required to be done a certain way. E.g. colocated templates could be built using primitives before the feature existed. Want a filesystem based router – doable, …
