Goatmire 2, announced Goatmire Elixir 2025 was a very dense success. The second one just got announced.

I announced Goatmire Elixir 2026 yesterday. In case you missed it.

The website is fancy and bare. I figured I'd share some of my preliminary plans that I am willing to share so I wrote a blog post:

Ah, yes, okay, I see the mistake I've made. What a great example.

If it matches, wouldn't you see the value of user_id printed?

Sam is an incredible person. I got to meet him at Elixir EU in London a few years ago and he left a lasting impression.

A selfie of me on stage with about 100 attendees in the historic Varberg theater holding up their ElixirLang/Nerves powered name badges.

An up close view of the conference name badge. The badge has the screen “schedule” on it, with labels for the buttons on the side of the device. The labels are “next page” and “back”

What a WILD day at #Goatmire! I finally unveiled the surprise that @lawik.bsky.social and I have been cooking up for the last few months - every attendee received a Nerves-powered e-ink name badge!

I had a blast on stage presenting the project and the process of how to design hardware for Nerves

Thrilled our @groxio.bsky.social blog is now published!!

Introducing Tidewave: tidewave.ai

While working on our web apps, we run code, query the database, read logs, search docs… but our AI tools are limited to reading code.

Tidewave closes this gap by introducing Runtime Intelligence, for Phoenix and Rails. More coming soon, check out the website!

Only pressed the DEL key once to get into the BIOS today. Might buy myself a lottery ticket.

The Elixir Shirt [pre-order] Images for the pre-order are poorly hand-edited mockups. The shirts are the same, the logo will look real. We have no mockups of the white ones. The text is a tone of gray that is selected to work on…

The Elixir shirts on pre-order is up til March. Make sure you get in there. It supports my wife's continuous efforts to enable my open source work. But mostly it's fun. I've ordered stickers so expect an Elixir sticker with every Elixir shirt ✨
