AI Can Write Your Code. It Can’t Do Your Job. The companies building AI are spending billions to acquire engineers, not replace them. Here’s why your job is safer than you think.

Wait, that's the book I've been waiting for! "Financial Analytics Using Elixir" 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Where do I see that published? pragprog? leanpub?

Oh, every visitor opened at least one LiveView socket, so this is how it looks like to have 10k LiveView sessions on a 8$/mo droplet 😄 (not simultaneously though)

GitHub - cheerfulstoic/ecto_watch: EctoWatch allows you to easily get notifications about database changes directly from PostgreSQL. EctoWatch allows you to easily get notifications about database changes directly from PostgreSQL. - cheerfulstoic/ecto_watch

Noice article 👌🏽. I remembered this library from getting db changes, although it has nothing to do with ?wal? nor ?pg_notify?

yeah minor annoyances, but have you tried toggling the dark mode before going back to light mode? that helped me

Break apart your features into full-stack slices Our communication practices can be very disrupting. Remote work has taught me to be more considerate of how I communicate with others. We should treat other people's time as we like ours to be treated...

Don’t let the age of this article from @germsvel.com scare you off, vertically slicing features is still a great idea:

I know that clip, watched taht too! 🙏🏽

beginner here. really torn between rust and c++. was really eyeing c++ becuase of leetcode and codeforces

Isn't that what Erlang was all about?

"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them."

What does Alan Kay think about Joe Armstrong claiming that "Erlang might be the only object-oriented language" and also his thesis superv... Answer by Alan Kay, Have designed a few programming languages

Yep, Alan said it best qr.ae/pCy5Km.

This was posted pre-pandemic (2019). Around 0:56 state modules and logic modules do have resemblance to Phoenix Framework's Contexts.

PSA!

It's so easy to forget to handle websocket reconnects in LV, but if you're deploying regularly, your users are likely seeing A LOT of bugs coming from this.

Go to one of your pages, click around a bit, then run `liveSocket.socket.triggerChanError()`, and see what happens.

this is indeed useful!

Also my first colocated hook which makes sharing something like this super easy.

Why is this hard? This article is part of the series JEG2's Questions. In a previous article of this series I talked about how we must remain ever vigilant against what is making it into our code. I talked about the ne...

I'm closing out, for now, my series on questions at the heart of development with an analysis of when we need more abstraction. For example, taking @germsvel.com's advice about architecting more accurate models can reduce future bugs.

#ElixirLang

im out in the loop. what's ruelang?

An example resource with a circuit breaker defined. If 10 failures are hit within 10 seconds, the action will fast fail for a minute to let the circuit reset.

I made an Ash extension!

Elixir is capable of hitting services hard; great for throughput but harsh when those services are trying to recover from an outage.

The circuit breaker pattern addresses this issue and is now available in Ash!

People in js land would think an Elixir library whose already v1 and the last commit was many years ago is considered old and unmaintained, even though it's perfectly capable for a certain task 🤷🏾

yes yes YES!

1. 💯 on that, yeah there has to be someone on top of the food chain. Control is the name of the game.

2. I may be drinking too much dystopian kool-aid, but I'm scared the day when asking questions will have a paywall and free tiers are garbage

Long time ago newspapers aren't bombarded with ads, until realized. Same thing with tuning to radio stations. Same thing with TVs. Years ago, "Googling" shows little to no signs of targeted ads, until it's realized they can abuse cow's milk. Still, same thing for AI.
