Open Sourcing Jump's Credo Checks

At work, a significant portion of my time is spent writing Credo checks to improve code quality.

We've just open sourced 14 checks that we think will be useful to the #ElixirLang community, and we'll add more over time.

Give 'em a try, let me know what you think! 🎉

Personally I think writing formal proofs is one of the best applications of AI, and I think we're going to see a lot more of it in the future, as I wrote a few months ago (martin.kleppmann.com/2025/12/08/a...). I've adjusted my own research agenda for the coming years to help make this happen.

I was able to wire up Popcorn to run Elixir and PGlite to run Postgres, both in the browser. This means we can have an interactive and safe sandbox for arbitrary code.

Which means a really good experience learning Ecto on a website.

I'll publish it soon :)

Shipping faster, thinking less? The AI code verification trap As AI floods codebases with machine-generated output, the AI verification trap emerges to test the resolve of modern developers.

AI makes code cheap to write. Verifying it is now the hard, expensive, human part — and the "prompt and review" model risks burning out the very engineers we need to catch what AI gets wrong. My latest for @leaddev.com

Anthropic’s Project Glasswing—restricting Claude Mythos to security researchers—sounds necessary to me Anthropic didn’t release their latest model, Claude Mythos (system card PDF), today. They have instead made it available to a very restricted set of preview partners under their newly announced …

Wrote up some thoughts on Anthropic's Project Glassing, where their latest Opus-beating model is available to partnered security research organizations only. Given the recent alarm bells raised by credible security voices I think this is a justified decision.

MozFest is coming back to Barcelona in 2026, and tickets are already on sale. I bought mine right away because I loved it last year.

It really feels like a kind of digital counterculture.

Alright! Introducing Dux: distributed #DuckDB backed dataframes for #elixirlang. cigrainger.com/blog/introdu... v0.3 dropped today and with it, distribution is fully supported and Dux is officially outperforming Explorer. I'm excited to hear what you all think.

A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years.

That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

I would be so happy to see poll support in @bsky.app 🥺

It would change the way I do open-source because I really care about y’all’s opinion 🫶

Google's AI design tool "Stitch" got a major update. One prompt → 4 UI screens in ~3 minutes.

New: infinite canvas, voice input, DESIGN.md, MCP server (Claude Code/Cursor), instant prototypes.

Figma export with proper layers. Free Figma Make, basically.

Designing Local-First features for Hologram - what's your dream DX? Hi everyone! I’m working on designing Local-First features for Hologram and I’d love to hear your thoughts before I dive into implementation. What do we mean by “Local-First”? The term gets used in ...

I'm designing Local-First features for Hologram (instant UI, optimistic updates, offline resilience) and I'd love to hear your ideas.

What's your dream DX? Don't think about what's possible - think about what you'd want if there were no constraints.

Self-hosted Data Lake Platform with DuckDB, DuckLake and Shaper Learn how to build a simple data lake platform that scales from $5 VM to petabytes of data with DuckDB, DuckLake and Shaper

I set up a minimal self-hosted data lake platform with DuckDB, DuckLake and @taleshape.bsky.social.

The whole setup is a single docker compose file that covers all basic data needs from ingest and storage to transform and visualization:

Supply chain attack protection:

1. Version lockfiles and during update use versions that are more than 24 hours old
2. Dev Container for developer’s machine isolation
3. Split CI into jobs with different permissions and install dependencies only in some
4. Minimize dependencies

oxlint works 3-4 times faster while using my JS-based third-party ESLint plugins.

Maybe you should have bought an electric car The Iran War is illustrating the cost of anti-EV nonsense.

As fossil fuel prices have shot up, it’s a good time to consider going electric. I’ve had an electric car for a decade and a heat pump for a year, and I’m very happy with both — simply all-around better technology than burning stuff. www.noahpinion.blog/p/maybe-you-...

CSS nesting is now Baseline 🎉

Write nested selectors directly in CSS — just like Sass, but natively.

.card {
