Fill it out if you have any connection to the Elixir ecosystem. It really helps us understand what happens. Curiosum are awesome to run this for the community.

Calling multiple services doesn't have to be a nightmare.
My latest video explores Reactor for workflow orchestration. Concurrent execution, automatic rollbacks on failure, and of course: it works with Ash AI.

Emacs 30.1 just shipped with Elixir and HEEx support: www.gnu.org/savannah-che...
It took over 2 years and is pretty basic at the moment, but hopefully someone finds it useful.

A picture of Reviewers' Choice Award 2024 for the Design Principles of the Elixir Type system by Giuseppe Castagna, Guillaume Duboc, and José Valim, in The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming.
We saw tons of progress on Elixir's type system in 2024. We started the year with a Best Paper award, then Elixir v1.17 in May with data-type warnings, and now Elixir v1.18 with type checking + inference on function calls.
Today I started working on v1.19, I'll share more here as it progresses!
If you've never seen the power of #erlang hot code upgrades, this guy live patched a drone while flying:

#elixirlang as with github: github.com/elixir-lang
yeah, that is an idea.
I bought wkirschbaum.com just so that I can try out the bluesky domain handle feature. Maybe I should consider putting a website up there or something 😆.

Its not really about the 30 minutes, it is a mind-shift from my regular contributions to the #elixir ecosystem and private projects... lots of effort to alter the workflow, different standards and expectations.
I have 2 commits on my local #emacs for over a month now, because the ~30 minutes it takes to prep and email it to the mailing list takes just enough effort to delay submitting the patches. I understand the issues with github-style PR's, but in practice it seems more efficient.
