We heard the Bluesky community cares about Open Source, so we showed up 👋
Our endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers is already at $729k, and we're developing a model for distributing our first funding round.
Have ideas on how to identify critical OSS projects? We're listening.
Seeing 50 and 60-year-old HN devs share how Claude Code reignited their passion for building software and solving problems over the framework rat race is exactly how I feel.
I haven’t felt this energized in years.
Detractors argue AI removes the craft and familiarity with implementation details.
Vendors are trying to emulate the BEAM, but there's truly nothing like it.
Here's a walkthrough of what makes it special: processes, messaging, registries, ETS, distribution, and its ecosystem.
Elixir was made for the current moment, and for what's to come.

Software Social is back!

For those not familiar it is two women doing SaaS, software and stuff having very worthwhile conversations.
Good to hear you again @mjwhansen.com :)
Is Colleen on here?
The Release Candidate for TypeScript 6.0 is now available!
Read up on what's coming up with 6.0 & 7.0, and try it out on your codebase today!

Screenshot from GitHub, with a pre-filled message saying "I just sponsored fatfingers23. Go sponsor your open source dependencies!", followed by a "Post on X" button.
Who do we need to lobby to to make @github.com add a "Post on Bluesky" button here?
Does anybody have experience using GitHub-hosted dev containers ("codespaces") for #ElixirLang dev?
I *really* want to empower our designers to work on LiveView component HTML/CSS directly (they're already comfortable with those), but getting them a local dev setup is a huge blocker.
We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol.

I created two skills which I always found to be gotcha's when working with #elixirlang and LiveView. Both can have a big impact on user experience.
First, LiveView and optimistic updates, making sure that the UI stays responsive, even when there is latency.

Token Anxiety Nikunj Kothari C @nikunj • Feb 13 A friend left a party at 9:30 on a Saturday. Not tired. Not sick. He wanted to get back to his agents. Nobody questions it anymore. Half the room is thinking the same thing. The other half are probably checking the progress of their agents. At a party. All the parties are sober now. Young people don't drink because they're going back to work after. Not inspired by Bryan Johnson, although that's probably a factor. The buzz they want now runs on tokens per day.
I keep noticing it on walks through the Mission. Laptops glowing everywhere. Cafes, sidewalks, heck even park benches. People walking with screens open like a flashlight guiding them somewhere. Less drunk laughter on the streets these days. More keystrokes. Dinner conversations used to start with "what are you building?" That's over. Now it's "how many agents do you have running?" People drop the number the way they used to drop their follower count. Quietly competitive. The flex isn't what you've accomplished anymore. It's what's working while you're sitting here not working. The vocabulary is what really gets me though. People describe models the way sommeliers describe wine. This one has better taste. That one hallucinates with more confidence. Opus is bold, Codex is smooth. They talk about harnesses and reins like they're controlling horses. Invisible whips directing invisible labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep
labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep "Claude on a tight leash for code review but give it more slack for creative work." We've started borrowing the language of how we treat animals for something none of us actually understand yet. Waking up and checking what your agents produced overnight is the first thing now. Before coffee. Before texts. You open your laptop and grade homework you assigned in your sleep. Some of it is good. Most needs rework. But you start shipping a plan before you sleep just so you can wake up to more code written overnight. Saturdays became uninterrupted build windows. No meetings, no Slack, twelve hours of you and your agents. Sunday morning X is all terminal screenshots and shipping receipts. "What'd you ship this weekend?" replaced "what'd you do this weekend?"
The anxiety is rational, which is why it sticks. Every week some new benchmark drops that makes last month's workflow feel prehistoric. Codex ships overnight processing. Opus gets faster. Context windows double. None of it reduces the pressure. It multiplies it. You can do more now. And someone already is. The window to be first at anything feels like it's shrinking by the day. Literally, by the day. I replaced Netflix with Claude Code. I lie in bed thinking about what I can spin up before I fall asleep, what can run while I'm unconscious. Reading a novel feels indulgent now. Watching a movie without a laptop open feels wasteful. This voice in my head that says "something could be running right now" just doesn't shut off. I'm not even building a company. I'm just addicted to building my random ideas. Everyone here knows they should step away more. That's not the problem. The problem is what your brain does when you try. I still take a x ss walks. The agents come with me now.

i think i mostly echo this for myself. with so much that can be done, i often feel like i *should* be doing something, always
There’s a new release of Quokka, and it’s a big one. Lots of both new and improved rewrites to automatically make your codebase nicer. 💜

I ❤️ @svelte.dev!
I'm not a web developer, but I often need to make websites... and I was always frustrated by the boilerplate & learning curve of other frameworks.
IMO, Svelte is the easiest JS framework to learn as an outsider: it's just normal HTML & CSS until you need more.
My latest project:
Wild how far you can push "customizable select" with just #CSS

HUGE day for Deno! 🎉
- The all-new, completely rebuilt Deno Deploy is now in GA
- If that weren't enough: we're ALSO launching Deno Sandbox!
Deno Sandboxes are on-demand, isolated safe zones that run on Deno Deploy. Perfect for running any untrusted code (like from an LLM, or from end users).
Maybe the AI didn't catch the changes made my the refactor tool, and thus kept re-adding them.
I often find myself just telling the AI "I made changes to this file" then it re-reads it and thus has the updated version in its context.
Nice side effect is that you often get praise for the changes 😄
Cursor has hooks as well. I made a hook that tries to detect all attempts to reveal secrets from env files as well as the system's loaded env:
github.com/arnodirlam/d...
There's also a test script with 232 tests.

I have moved all my personal domains from Namecheap (US) to Hostinger (EU) now. It took a few hours but now I have Terraform scripts for all DNS records, so moving again should be much faster.
Next step is to move my apps to a Hetzner server I rented today. But that’s for next weekend.
Interesting! Proton replaced their native iOS and Android apps with ... native iOS and Android apps that share 80% of their code through a Rust core library!

Very nifty little #AshFramework extension just released 🤯 #ElixirLang
I'd be very interested in that. Thank you!
This Wednesday, I’ll be teaching a workshop on LLMs, Agents, and MCP in Elixir.
We are fully booked! 🚫🪑
However, if you want me to send you the Livebook notebook with all the content afterwards, just drop a comment or DM me.
#ElixirLang
The VS Code extension for expert, the new official Elixir language server, is finally published 🥳
marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

Expert is still early in development (pre-0.1) but working quite well already.
#elixirlang
i'm speaking at fosdem in a couple of weeks time in the browser's room, talking about lustre and how it builds on #webcomponents rather than fights them.
are there things folks would be interested in hearing about? compared to most other frameworks i think we have quite a different opinion
