„Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.“
Søren Kierkegaard

I am thinking about this a lot these days

Mark it required and let the browser handle it. Works everywhere, all the time, in a generalized way.

All those custom solutions are making it worse imo

As a backend dev, I can write the whole app as if it was SSR, but for the user, it feels like a SPA. Also, there is no API, so working asynchronous with a Frontend Dev is super easy.
And since LiveViews are erlang processes, a LV can send/receive messages (eg PubSub) to/from the system

What annoys me most about Claude code is that it writes the same useless code comments as humans.
Nobody needs to know what the code does, that’s what the code is for! Write why something is done the way it is! Explain the premise, drawbacks, assumptions!

Working on tabla.fyi, where fans of niche sports leagues can add all their fixtures into any calendar app!

I also love it when it starts changing the asserts until it works 💀

Whatever is needed to validate the premise. No generalization possible

I find it easier to stay with one library, so I just use Oban. One dashboard, one syntax, one way to do things

I would use Oban for crons and queues. Otherwise agree!

Hex A package manager for the Erlang ecosystem

There was a change in the hex.pm infrastructure so the numbers are counted differently now afaik

Hey #buildinpublic people. Any tips for a dev that usually gets stuck building and struggling to find adoption?

Translated my app to German with Claude Code. Surprisingly high quality! The game changer for me was asking Claude to curl the site, read the full copy and iterate.

And not even take their money, but advertise for them.
I‘d pay a lot to have this evil eliminated from sports!

The fact that @daznde.bsky.social just offered me a free 10€ bet makes me want to unsubscribe from NFL and ELF!
How evil does one needs to be to take money from sports betting / gambling companies…

100% agree. I have not found a use case for background jobs/queues or scheduled jobs I could not implement with Oban!

What about oban_web?

Did not know about this site, this is great! Thanks!

That's just one symptom of companies' lack of care, and it has nothing to do with designers, developers, or UI/UX. It's all over the place, and depending on your focus, you just see it in different places.

Anybody got a suggestion for a transactional email delivery system (like mailgun/postmark), hosted in the EU and focused on end user privacy? SMTP or HTTP API! #myelixirstatus #solopreneur #emailasaservice

The big advantage of coding with AI (for me) is that I can focus on the big picture and have AI code out the boring parts. I know how to create an API, but that's just typing. Thinking in depth about the data model and the business logic, that's where the magic happens.
