I retired bobs-list.kobrakai.de today. Hex Bob has its own dashboard now at bob.hex.pm and elixir builds are even done by elixirs own CI anyways. The times of an elixir release without asdf/mise resources ready have been gone for a while. Erlang and docker builds however are still done by bob.

Hello #ElixirLang

Does anyone look for principal/senior level developer? Either permanent or contract.

I have experience in performance optimisations and observability of Elixir and Erlang codebases.

Goatmire is happening this year. No Goatmire 2027.

We need space for normal life. This is a break, 2028 is an open question. If you want to attend Goatmire Elixir, this one is it for a while. A six day Elixir festival. We are very excited for it. Then rest.

I only recently learned about rendezvous hashing, an alternative to consistent hashing, and I ended up doing a little deep dive and then I wrote a small library for Elixir. For node counts <20 it performs as well as ExHashRing, but as a pure function

Can Erlang run on QNX? Turns out: yes ✅

In this article, @maennchen.dev explores what it takes to port Erlang/OTP to QNX. A great example of curiosity turning into concrete results.

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.

Maybe it really does come down to there basically being IRL PvE people and IRL PvP people.
The latter will never be happy just getting along with the former. And the former will always be vexed why some people just want to ruin everything.

The rush is slowing down, but still in awe of the great time I had at goatmire conference. Giving a talk felt like such a privilage with all the other amazing speakers I was sharing the stage with. Lots of lovely people to meet and reunite with. Just the perfect package. 📷 by @petterbos.bsky.social

There‘s still a bit to go to making this happen. Rebar is an important piece to using erlang not just for erlang, but just as much for elixir, gleam, … Consider backing this effort.

Firefox is the last browse to support view transitions. These are gonna allow server rendered pages to transition between each other (but also works for SPAs/client side rendering)
View Transitions are enabled by default in Firefox Nightly, so they're on their way to stable. Give it a test with your current transitions, and give me a shout if anything doesn't look right.
