I would tell you what I learned from this article, but I already forgot. 🤡
Speaking publicly about Elixir stuff (conference talks + podcasts) has gotten me every job I've had since 2020. (And that first one was a 50% pay bump.)
I interview pretty poorly, but having been seen being smart in public got me the foot in the door I needed to prove I could do the work.
I hope you all like long blog articles. It seems I cannot write succinctly in markdown.

Celebrating #Erlang’s 27th birthday as #OpenSource, Elixir Hub 2025 survey results, new data_migration LiveDashboard package, critical #React RCE vuln, and Zig leaves #GitHub, and more! #ElixirLang www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FWy...

It's hard to pick a favorite feature; as I scroll, each one is intriguing. What I appreciate most is the care taken in writing this article.
Can confirm. It’s really hard to make boredom interesting for several minutes, much less half an episode, but they have done it beautifully.
Stay tuned everyone! Some Elixir and Nerves goodness headed your way this coming week 😍

Let me Task.async(fn -> {:ok, “get back to you on that.”} end)
1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Enpass, iCloud Passwords, and LogMeOnce remain vulnerable to zero-day clickjacking vulnerabilities disclosed at DEF CON.
Vendors downplayed or ignored the issue. Socket has filed a CVE to ensure these risks are formally tracked.
