Appreciating Elixir #myelixirstatus: ~1.5M ARR business with > 2000 users 3 servers running Fly.io shared-cpu-2x:4096MB < 200MB RAM average 42ms response time average AND, we're super overprovisioned on servers. I had a memory leak and just fixed it. Will drop to 2GB servers

The one thing I've been jealous of from the JS ecosystem is a set of beautiful, out of the box components. So I'm working on Bloom, an open-source Phoenix component library with installable UI. mix task -> local copy -> customise bloom-ui.fly.dev #MyElixirStatus

If you were to choose one classical software engineering book to be adapted to Elixir, which one would you pick?

Patrick Collison on how to change the world

You're missing out if you're not using ChatGPT to help debug and optimize your SaaS. Earlier today, Sentry reported an endpoint regression. I grabbed the slow SQL, ran EXPLAIN ANALYZE and pasted both. ChatGPT refactored it to run 10x faster. All you need to do is ask.

Founder doing $30M+/year sent me his "secrets".

Daniel Lockyer @levelsio I suggest doing what Danny Postma did with his SEO course. - Create right now a waitlist page. - Start creating a presale page, no need to work on the course yet. - Put a limited special price ($59/69). - Put tiered prices regarding sales volume. Enjoy.

9am - noon: everyone on the team talks to users noon - 10pm: we sit in a room and build what they asked for rinse and repeat, 6 days a week (we’ve been at it for ~1.5 years) things fall into place if you do it long enough the view gradually gets better too 🏔️

I think "my idea takes a long time to build" is usually a masive red flag (unless you're building a nuclear power plant or similar) It usually just means you can't minimize the requirements enough (Elon-style) and are massively procrastinating and overcomplicating it The first

Consistency. --- most people quit here. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Greatness. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency.

It's a little hard to believe. Fourteen years ago today, I launched Buffer from my apartment in Birmingham, in the UK. Today the business generates $1.65 million per month, serves 59,000 customers, and enables fulfilling work for 72 people.

it’s actually insane how well-made Screen Studio is. it lives up to all the hype.

Thank you Arvid Kahl This and The Embedded Entrepreneur were seminal in my journey building Attendist So much more to share very soon. Thank you for being open about your process. Nice to see a picture of me from the lockdown years

Most BBC traffic is going through an Elixir-powered routing layer and it is all running on 12 nodes: “fewer incidents, better spike handling, more confidence”.

The golden rule still mostly holds: The ones talking about numbers are seeking validation. The ones just building are the ones doing the real numbers. Do we see the founders of Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, etc show off numbers every day?

Why aren’t you pairing more with him? He types twice as fast as you. Of course he does. So does a cat having a seizure on a mechanical keyboard. But that doesn’t mean it should be writing production code. 😂 deplet.ing/the-copilot-de…

Extremely happy with my decision to migrate from JS to Elixir + Phoenix 🔥

Congrats to Rust, Gleam (welcome!!) and Elixir on being the top 3 most admired languages on the StackOverflow Survey and Phoenix for being the most admired web framework for the third year in a row! survey.stackoverflow.co/2025
