If you are going to watch any of the Physical shows on Netflix, start with Physical: Asia. I’m not a sports or reality TV guy, but it’s magnificent to watch the teams compete and strategize.

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.

Zero Trust Auth for Plug/Phoenix apps is here - Dashbit Blog We have just released `nimble_zta`, a library that allows developers to add Zero Trust Auth (ZTA) to their Plug/Phoenix web apps

Via @josevalim.bsky.social:

"We extracted Nimble ZTA (Zero Trust Auth) from Livebook as a separate package for Plug/Phoenix [...] to add auth to an internal app when your identity management and deployments are on the same platform (GCP/Cloudflare/etc)"

`mix format —migrate` helped make my recent Phoenix upgrade a minutes-long, joyful experience. A couple deprecation fixes later, the code was ready for review. 🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥🦅

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.

I have slung a dataframe agent or two in my day. It’s handy for mostly static state as long as it’s not hammered too much.
