The real reason to get a split keyboard 🧠

Phoenix LiveView 1.1 is an exciting release in a lot of ways, but the highlight for me is the JS is getting types! Huge thanks to the maintainers 💜 github.com/phoenixframe...

Indefinite Hiatus: tylerbarker.com/posts/indefi...

So I've mentioned that I'm working on a new library for extremely pluggable/composable LLM workflows, especially agentic ones. I'm getting closer to opening that up. One thing that underpins this is the ability to use NimbleOptions for function calling and structured outputs via JSONSchema. 1/2

I do not like the Notion API. I do not like it one bit.

Vibrating with excitement expert-lsp.org #ElixirLang

Maybe the most amazing thing about Elixir to me pattern matching on binaries. Parsing a WAV file is almost as simple as writing down the file spec verbatim - look at this! #ElixirLang

Haskell got me interested in functional programming, Elixir got me functional programming. #ElixirLang

Huge release! 💎

Apps that fall into the category of "Open at Login" have such a huge attention advantage, gotta follow those ideas.

Apologies tw_screen_size friends, I only just noticed I've been making you uninstall to get your LiveView 1.0 upgrade - just released v1.1.0 to fix! #ElixirLang

Irrationally excited to get Ghostty terminal for xmas 👻

IO.inspect(socket.assigns, label: "WTF")

Elm was the first functional lang I ever wrote a meaningful amount of code in. I convinced a professor at uni to let me use it instead of the recommended Angular.js for an assignment. It was great! Evan is a legend

Butter + vegemite + avocado toast is how to breakfast.

Cloak is rad! I'm rebuilding my wife's website which handles some sensitive data. Last I checked, cloak_ecto doesn't support SQLite - but it didn't take much to do it myself 🔒 github.com/danielberkom...

Working with LiveView everyday and still being tempted to rewrite all manner of things in Rust, Svelte, and [flavour of the month], has taught me your stack will never be shiny enough - just keep getting stuff done.

My design sensibility needs more teenage engineering.
