Dafaq? Backstory?

LLMs getting much better at pushing back against bullshit prompts.

Another milestone achieved: Gleam had its first conference!

Thank you, @crowdhailer.bsky.social and Laura, for organising the #GleamGathering 2026 and bringing together dozens of Gleamlins in one place 🩷

I know man, I know... still waiting for that movie or well... 10 season HBO series

@bobbby.online bot is developing stalker vibes :eyes:

She is!

Quokka is always the first dependency I add to every new project. Such a great tool! And no more “oh my editor formatted it differently, sorry” or “damn I forgot to sort my aliases and now my CI failed”. Brilliant

For the Mac crowd:

My Mac just hard shut down in the middle of me typing a review and restarted.

It. Just. Works.

✋High five🤚

The Ruby User Group Berlin (RUG::B) is meeting next week!

www.rug-b.de/events/febru...

We're still looking for talks for that and the future!

I'm relatively sure you're familiar with Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against and others 😅

Soundtrack: Everything @darrenkorb.bsky.social does is gold, Hades 1 is more rock, Hades 2 is electronic (which is music I don't usually like, but love), Bastion is just... odd but great. Cowboy Bebop is some wild jazz.

Ah I also used to absolutely adore Red City Radio which is amazing

I think your music taste is heavier than mine but well let's try.

Hardcore: Hot Water Music (favorite band!), Boysetsfire, The Bronx, Refused (this one I assume you know ;))
Ska-Punk: Been really enjoying "The interrupters"
Rock: I really enjoyed Titus Andronicus' albums, more of a concept thing

Enjoy it, imo it gets better and I do admire what she did with the ending

First submarine? Just took very long to get up again...

Although I guess that one doesn't count as a Viking ship 😅

Brb getting the big one from Stockholm

absolutely! Such a fun crowd to hang out with and chat!

Meeting in person again = [ 😎 | [ 🍺 , 🥛, 🍹 ]], Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 7:00 PM | Meetup Hi Folks, It's been a few months since our last meetup, so we're in dire need of a new meetup. Let's get together to learn (new) people, talk about Elixir, Erlang, Gleam (

Also, are you around Amsterdam?

There will be an elixir get together and I'll be there!

Looking forward to getting to know new people & hang out!

Goatmire Elixir & NervesConf EU

Also, the feeling of community, getting to know people & hanging out was absolutely great (in a small town you just happen to run into each other)

Anyhow, go to this great conference you won't regret it.

Here's the gallery to get a peek at what happened: 2025.goatmire.com/gallery

For anyone wondering top 3 imo were:

1. @floralouise.bsky.social Genserver/puppeteering
2. @oban.pro Oban murder mystery
3. @ash-hq.org & friends a look into the future

To be clear, at any "normal" conference Saša's talks would have been #1 no contest. So, _imagine_ these talks.

Anyhow, at the end of goatmire @sasajuric.bsky.social and I were reminiscing about that and we settled that at goatmire his talk probably didn't even make top 3 "weirdest" talks.

And when I say "weird" I mean that in a positive sense, as in special experience and what I'd like to see more of.

Wanna know how special? Well I brought my _weird_ "Metaphors are everywhere" talk to @alchemyconf.com - where I talk about basketball, card games & fiction writing. I thought I'd be the "weirdest" talk.

But @sasajuric.bsky.social had me bet handily (maybe @redrapids.bsky.social as well...)

One of the best things last year in @elixir-lang.org was 2 community conferences popping up in EU:

@alchemyconf.com in Portugal and goatmire in Sweden!

Both were absolutely fantastic experiences.

Now goatmire is happening again, and you should absolutely go! It was an amazing experience!

Goatmire Elixir & NervesConf EU September 30th to October 2nd, 2026

I was thinking since Goatmire Elixir turned out pretty good I should maybe do another one. 30th of Sep - 2nd of Oct this year.

We have a list to notify you about the progress and when tickets drop, getting on that list also helps indicate interest.
