It’s a rare chance to have an Elixir event that’s in a Japan-friendly time zone - looking forward to attending this

That’s a blast from the past. deli.icio.us was great for a period in time before it got spammed to high heaven.

I remember it used to be great for discovery too, if a link was heavily bookmarked on a topic you were interested in it was usually pretty good.

This seems like a problem that can be solved in time though. I think we’ll start to see coding LLMs be more aware of these kind of things, and also providing more weight to up-to-date versions etc.

Out of interest why inertia and not one of the libraries that connect LiveView to react?

They could have handled this so much better. I would be more understanding if they’d offered some kind of offer in place of what they’re taking away, but as others have said this is all for their convenience and not for the customer. I guess they see us as liabilities rather than their customers.

This was my intro to Elixir (after watching the Soul of Erlang talk). Fantastic book - you’ve reminded me I need to re-read it as I’m sure a tonne went over my head that first time.
Anyway you’re in for a treat.

It looks like this one supports with and without ligatures too

This font looks pretty nice.
I never used to be a fan of ligatures in my code fonts, but have really come round on this - especially since writing more #ElixirLang

It’s funny how these UI component frameworks grow and then age, especially when they get super popular. Bootstrap looks terrible now. MUI also looks stale. And there’s a Vercel influenced trend peaking which is already starting to look a little same-y.

Somewhat off-topic but how have you found Sonnet-3.5 with Elixir / Phoenix code?

"From upcoming Elixir 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! 😍

Other than some pre v1 LiveView iteration (which is understandable and expected) that’s been my (limited) experience of Phoenix so far too.

@pragdave.bsky.social which (if any) frameworks would you say have bucked the trend on this?

Oh, I like this kind of micro blogging TIL idea! If for nothing else it's probably a great way to cement the learning.

I ended up going with this approach bsky.app/profile/andr... which worked well for my current use-case without pulling in another dependency. But learned a bunch of other options from this thread which I may use in the future, thanks all!

Interesting, I *think* I get what you mean but if you have examples when you're back at a computer would love to see them!
