That is so awesome!! Congrats Eileen

So there seems to be a lot of cursor unhappiness these days, and that inspired me to check out Roo Code based on a recommendation. Its an OS VSCode extension (BYOM api key). Brief experiments with claude 4 doing work on a phoenix app went well, FWIW. Gonna keep digging in: roocode.com

Thank you to all who weathered the [literal] storm last week for @superchris.launchscout.com talk about helping teams adopt AI. What we liked best was that it felt like a true meetup. It ended with everyone sitting down, chairs turned toward the center, honestly sharing and listening to each other.

Beyond Vibe Coding: Lessons from helping teams effectively adopt AI Chris will share our experience helping software development teams effectively adopt AI on production projects.

Tomorrow evening @superchris.launchscout.com will share his experience helping real software development teams effectively adopt AI on real projects. Listen and chat over some pizza at Alloy Development Co starting at 5:30PM!

I'd be pretty interested in this. Anywhere I can go to dig in further?

Really surprised no one thought to name their LLM Mr. MeSeeks. Seems like a missed branding opportunity.

How You Can Help Build the Elixir Development Community, Even if You Don’t Use it at Work How You Can Help Build the Elixir Development Community, Even if You Don’t Use it at Work

I wrote this a while back for @teamlaunchscout.bsky.social -- "How to Support the Elixir Development Community" launchscout.com/blog/support...

It remains pretty useful, though I know some of the details have since shifted.

I'm really grateful to and fond of the #elixirlang community

Let’s recap:

BBC uses custom Elixir DSLs to serve

📈 600m+ monthly unique views
💻 12 servers (down from 100
🧑‍💻 7 #elixirlang engineers!

Mind blowing! 🤯

Really wish I could be there but very excited for your talk :)

Next year! If not sooner :)

Refactoring code (AI generated or human generated) after a good night's sleep is so much better than doing it at after the end of a long day

Bummed I can't be there to see it!

Due to the AI revolution, we programmers may write less code ourselves, but we still have to read it if we want to be responsible. Choosing a human friendly and readable programming language is still important. That's why I am betting on Elixir and Phoenix #MyElixirStatus

Yes that’s actually how I look. That coffee cup is in fact in my hand at all times

@superchris.launchscout.com is at it again! He will be presenting "WebAssembly Beyond the Browser: A Better Way to Build Extensible Software" at Stir Trek in Columbus, Ohio. on See you May 2 at 1PM. Register here: https://stirtrek.com/

“.. It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.”

Not to quibble, but this isn't deportation, this is exile. And it's *illegal*.

Trump pleads with his war criminal patron "Vladimir" over social media not to make him look too stupid as Trump gives everything to Russia and justifies past murder and enables future murder. And Putin laughs at him.

Opinion | Time for a Civic Uprising It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.
