I got to play around with phoenix_sync and TanStack DB today. With just two shape handlers that wrap Ecto queries, I was able to add a realtime sync over to a React frontend and get fantastic performance!. #MyElixirStatus

I just described tab prediction to a coworker as “a feature for when you’re hand-editing files”. He (rightfully) pointed out how quickly we needed a term for what used to be the only way of working. Times are changing.

On the next Code and Stuff, I’ll show how I handle time zones in Phoenix apps. Server rendered, without making the user scroll through every zone on earth. Look out for it on Wednesday!

Am I a bad prompt engineer if I just show Claude a screenshot and get passive aggressive?

I made an Ash extension!. Elixir is capable of hitting services hard; great for throughput but harsh when those services are trying to recover from an outage. The circuit breaker pattern addresses this issue and is now available in Ash!. #MyElixirStatus.

I just found out that @andyleclair wrote a great post on interesting things that can be done with Ecto. It's 100% worth the read for Elixir folks!.

Thousands of IDs were stolen because Tea misconfigured Firebase. I built a demo to show how easy it is to avoid this mistake.

Love this change! It should also make new types of extensions possible!. Every improvement makes the entire Ash system more powerful.
Generic actions in @ash-hq.org now support validations, preparations, and before/after action hooks!. Same patterns you get with other action, but for custom logic. Generic actions are great for arbitrary logic, but now you get composability too 😎. #ElixirLang #AshFramework
