When the AI bubble bursts, and all the VCs are pondering their life choices, they can take some comfort in that at least they helped build a tool that saves me from my mild dyslexia again and again

I hate python's Significant Whitespace soo much. I have now spent an hour debugging and the cause was that a break statement was indented once to many, and so it broke out of the wrong loop.

Its not like python doesn't already mark blocks; every block starts with a ":". Just add an "end" plz.

fantastic, gj

Finally they do something with this IP, after 39 years of absolutely nothing!

Surfacing the Ash sections as an LSP document symbol would be great. Dont know enough about how LSP works to know if that would be simple or hard

...will get me quickly the rest of the way. Now I wonder how my personal computing enviroment will look like in 6 months. How far will I go in scripting things at work and in personal projects? How will codifying my various know-hows lessen my daily/weekly/monthly cognitive burden?

For me it is becoming increasingly clear that the economics of this @xkcd.com charts are changing. I am finding that automation that is not in the small rectangle in the upper right is almost always worth doing; if I understand the problem and what the solution might look like, an llm model...

But isnt this just creating a mountain of techinal dept for future me to worry about? Dont think so, cause this is just a script with a single purpose; I am...

...and connected to the database I was using in the project.

To be clear, I knew the general shape of the possible solution. I knew I wanted to search for the .direnv folder in a reverse recursive order. I knew I wanted to stop after I found the first instance of the .direnv folder. I knew I ...

So I started Claude Code in my home-manager folder where I keep my scripts and started iterating with it on possible solutions. After a few tries, after asking it to put in various print statements; ...

Why this workflow? Because I like to start tools from my editor session (eg lazygit), do what I want in it, exit the tool, and be back in neovim. So I want the opening of the tool to be as friction-less as possible. And to be looking through some db code, quickly opening a db tool and be...

This worked fine for DuckDB and Rainfrog but not psql. The problem was that...

I have a tmux workflow for working with databases in a project. I am in neovim and I press Prefix D. That opens up a tmux menu where I can choose between three terminal db clients: duckdb, rainfrog, and psql. When I select one, tmux opens a new window in the current session and executes...

roger, misread it in the book, validations with before_action? option set run after the hooks

ty!, that is helpful

btw claude is as dyslexic as I am, no judging

🎁

Claude almost had me compiling Postgres from source in my nix shell setup to enable the pg_trgm extension, before I noticed I had referenced it as pg_tgrm in the Ash extension list.

Still mildly dyslexic after all these years, when will I learn

#ElixirLang

My current understanding of the flow in Ash actions with validations, identity, hooks, etc. I am sure there are more pieces to this machinery.

#ElixirLang

poor things. no sleep for days it seems. why so cruel mr designer.

I am only 2 chapters in, but I feel the Ash book from @pragprog.com is teaching me to write really good Phoenix code along with all the Ash stuff. As an Elixir beginner I really appreciate that.

ty and gj @sevensea.cat and @zachdaniel.dev

#ElixirLang

I have. I would recommend it over NWET if you are only reading one Ecto book

I finished it last week. I would describe it as a long heavy Ecto practice project. Lots of writing and the. rewriting code; especially building and refactoring joins in Ecto.

It is good, but time consuming. It shows that no editor touched it.

godspeed

this season of ew has been a series of non stop bangers. gj everyone involved
