A screenshot of the Admired vs Desired Web Framework results of the 2025 StackOverflow survey. 1st place goes yet again to the Phoenix framework, closely folled by the Axum framework, which is written in Rust.

A screenshof of the "Admired vs Desired" Programming languages results of the StackOverflow 2025 survey results. 1st place goes to Rust with 72.4% developers admiring the language, Gleam comes in 2nd with 70.8%, and Elixir follows closely with 65.9%. Erlang comes in at 50%.

The results of the StackOverflow Survey 2025 are out!

Phoenix is yet again the most admired web framework! 🎉

Elixir fell from 2nd to 3rd place of most admired language because another BEAM language, ✨Gleam✨ took over the 2nd spot this year! Congrats Gleamers!

En 🇨🇭, je paie ~400€/mois d'assurance maladie avec une franchise de 2500€. Et les accidents ne sont pas couverts, c'est une autre assurance (généralement liée à l'employeur).
C'est difficile à comparer parce que les salaires sont plus élevés, mais je crois pas que ce soit mieux que le système 🇫🇷

A stylised image of a vile of magic purple elixir. I am sick and tired of having to justify “Why Elixir?” so I decided to write down all of the reasons why in one spot! #0181: Why Elixir? A Rebuttal to Common Misconceptions Why Elixir is not just a good platform for modern development, but a great one!

The Gap Through Which We Praise the Machine My current theory of agentic programming: people are amazing at adapting the tools they're given and totally underestimate the extent to which they do it, and the amount of skill we build doing that i...

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?

To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

2010, companies we'd talk to about switching to GitHub: "NO WAY WE CAN USE YOUR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, OUR SPECIAL CODE IS SO PRIVATE AND IMPORTANT"

2025, every engineer fuckin around: "oh whatever i'll just oauth every repo in our org to whatever AI is hip this morning"

Mind blowing! 🤯

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.

In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

PostgreSQL 18 Beta 1 Released! The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces that the first beta release of PostgreSQL 18 is now [available for download](https://www.postgresql.org/download/). This …

"This release adds the capability to access both the previous (OLD) and current (NEW) values in the RETURNING clause for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and MERGE commands." YUGE. Also a uuidv7 generator 🎉 www.postgresql.org/about/news/p...

L'occasion de rappeler que la déforestation induite par l'extraction est bien davantage le fait de l'extraction d'or et de charbons que des métaux pour la transition. Que les discours "anti-mines" se concentrent contre la transition est très étrange.

Released a new Phoenix library for real-time sync hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync at @codebeam.bsky.social yesterday.

Check it out if you’re interested in building modern, real-time apps on local-first / sync in Elixir.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capital.

It you've heard of Conway's Law, please repost this.

(I'm testing out a theory of how it applies to Bluesky)
