I've been learning more about the @ash-hq.org recently. My first attempt at writing about Ash DSLs covers building an extension, using Manifest for code generation, and extending it to make RPC calls between BEAM nodes - meraj-gearhead.ca/taking-ash-f... #ElixirLang

I'm using @ash-hq.org for the first time and I believe their tagline should be: *Ridiculously powerful* The amount of heavy-lifting they do is absolutely bonkers. All the stuff you don't *want* to care about in a web app is just being taken care of. *Massive* kudos to everyone involved!

Saturday mornings are set aside for writing "Financial Analytics Using Elixir". And I must say....I'm really pleased with how the analysis framework is coming together 😍. @livebook.dev and its supporting tooling is such a nice fit for this! #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

Not using AI for programming reminds me of when we had to code C on paper in some undergrad programming courses. Yeah, you can do it, but why? I feel 2025 is the tipping point for AI use for serious software development, not just vibe coding. Here's my take on it: senkorasic.com/articles/ai-...

Just had my latest article published on elixirmerge.com! 🚀 I walk through implementing Automated Persisted Queries (APQs) in Elixir using Absinthe. If you're working with GraphQL in Elixir, this one's for you! Big thanks to the Elixir Merge team for the feature 🙌 #ElixirLang #Absinthe #GraphQL

I think I’m most proud of our decision to built in extensibility as a core feature of Absinthe via the pipeline; it’s always a joy seeing how creatively others use it. #ElixirLang

Introducing Tidewave: tidewave.ai While working on our web apps, we run code, query the database, read logs, search docs… but our AI tools are limited to reading code. Tidewave closes this gap by introducing Runtime Intelligence, for Phoenix and Rails. More coming soon, check out the website!

I wrote a new article exploring how set-theoretic types (the foundation of Elixir's type system) could address how many statically typed languages do not allow libraries to evolve their data definitions in a backwards compatible manner: dashbit.co/blog/data-ev... - be warned, it is a long one.

dashbit.co Data evolution with set-theoretic types - Dashbit BlogIn this article we explore the challenges of data evolution in static typing and explore type safe solutions.

This is so spot on. Two things: 1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep" 2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it. Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!

After nearly three years at Firework, working as a Sr. Elixir Backend Engineer, I’ll be leaving the company, with my effective last day on Dec 31, 2024. I will still be working with #ElixirLang and Phoenix Framework for a new company starting next year. Looking forward to the next chapter!

From upcoming @elixir-lang.org 1.18 > For example, you can invoke IEx.configure(auto_reload: true) and IEx will automatically reload modules changed elsewhere, either by a separate terminal or your IDE. This is beautiful! 😍 #ElixirLang
