Yeah, that's an interesting one... it's very useful in a lot of cases where you don't think about it, right up until you *did* think about it but expected it to do something different (`nil > 0` comes to mind). 😆

Nice! Strange New Worlds maaaaaay be my favorite Trek of all time, which is something I never thought I'd say in the post-TNG, post-DS9 world.

The jump to the future was really nice because it unshackled them from the burden of continuity. As much as I liked the idea of Michael's arc, everything related to Spock felt shoehorned in. Once they jumped to the future, it felt like they could finally tell their own (totally unique) stories.

I loved the last couple seasons of Discovery!

On Mastodon, somebody pointed out strings vs. atoms as map keys. Hoooo boy, yes.

Macros are an interesting one, because I feel like they’re hard enough to use that there’s some built-in feedback that says “maybe I should find another way to do this.”

Elixir has relatively few footguns compared to any other language I’ve used, but it does still have some.

The big ones for me:

- and/or being almost-but-not-quite-identical to &&/||
- comparison of DateTime structs

What else?

Phoenix LiveView 1.1 is out!

Colocated JavaScript (and hooks), list comprehension improvements, and an igniter-based script that makes updating easier than ever.

What an incredible release—check it out!

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!

~30% year-over-year popularity growth is pretty awesome.

Is there any elixir github organization that would be interested in ownership of Sourceror?

I'm still actively maintaining it, but I feel it became an important library for many projects and a more permanent home than my personal github/hex accounts can be beneficial

Just one XMLHttpRequest.

It sure seems like it!

When I say the logs show a 22 MB upload, I mean the logs are like:

- 200/22,000,000 bytes uploaded
- 1000/22,000,000 bytes uploaded
- ...
- 21,000,000/22,000,000 bytes upload
- 22,000,000/22,000,000 bytes upload
- Upload complete (HTTP 200)

So I have the logs from prod showing my JavaScript client uploaded ~22 MB to GCS (via a presigned URL), and the client received an HTTP 200 back... but the file in GCS is only 8 KB (and totally busted).

Anybody ever seen this before?

Where's the fun in that?!

Hire Sriram!

I see the problem. The commit messages should be:

Fix deployment

Actually fix deployment

$#%*{%]! ACTUALLY fix deployment

Fix for real

Fix?

Fix?

I’ve had 1-3 very good use cases for them in each of the “real company” Elixir codebases I’ve worked in. At least one of those in each codebase was not actually implemented as a Behaviour, but just a bunch of modules that “happen” to expose the same functions.

Only for Behaviour AFAIK

I don’t write many Behaviours, but I misspell “behavior” all the time anyway!

Being an American Elixir dev means typoing "behavior" in 98% of contexts.

behaviour^D^D
behavior

Ohhh, I see. Yeah, I don’t have any experience with a setup like that.

My experience at both SOC2 places I’ve worked has been that requiring one PR reviewer is sufficient.

Ooh, shiny!

Tell me more about the with statement. What’s the frustration?

If you had 3 wishes to spend on fixing devex gripes in your Elixir codebase, how would you spend them?
