Also! I marked down a TON of my older original paintings . Gotta pay some bills and fund new work.

Today Elixir turns 12 years old! 🎉🥳

Let's celebrate with Elixir v1.17-rc, which includes our initial work on set-theoretic types, a brand new duration data type, and support for Erlang/OTP 27.

Today's newsletter was speculating on how I as a developer can be moved to new tech, stacks and frameworks. When is it hard? When is it easy?

Progress on Elixir Patterns elixirpatterns.dev is going well! Almost done with the second to last chapter...but I thought it was necessary to make a slight detour and add the ability to visualize ETS tables in Kino so that it was easier to explain things 😁

Finished editing my reflections from Chattanooga that I write on the plane-ride home. If you ever considered GigCity Elixir or NervesConf, give it a read.

I have a confession to make - it's the first time since 2006 when I'm going through regular recruitment processes, that includes interviewing, code challenges and so on, and it's super scary for me. 20 years of experience doesn't make it go away. Impostor syndrome is so real.

The new Erlang docs are a goddamn delight. ExDoc bringing me so much joy.

And JSON in the standard library. Yessss..

Haven't had a chance to hear it yet but in person this was probably the best podcast recording/panel I have had the pleasure of being involved in.

Hot takes was the rough idea but it went to a much more interesting place.

I am very excited by some hardware I ordered and a bunch of conversations I'm having.

Seems like I have a lot of Nerves in my future. Potentially a lot of fun things to share if everything comes together.

This is the easy path to hosting a website right now.
S3-compatible bucket, built-in CDN. Generous free tier. And if you want to do anything dynamic your files are already in-house with Fly.

Custom domain support on Tigris.

Disclosure: I work with them.

Are there any Elixir devs around?

Who should they follow for the good shit?

For the folks that would prefer to use other tools, we thought it would be good to put together a list of alternative technology choices! hexdocs.pm/ash/3.0.2/alte…
We need some help fleshing that list out though, so please make PRs and/or adjust descriptions as necessary.

Phoenix support for CockroachDB had me re-check my notes from last time I rabbit-holed on that tech. It seems great tech-wise. I am not convinced license-wise. More on this in the newsletter if you subscribe in the next 7 days: underjord.io/newsletter.html
