In the new glorous website of Hanakai there are two “getting started” guides for Hanami: one for a “web app” (meaning, a fullstack app) and one for an API app.

Have you ever worked on a brand new codebase with talented engineers, only to find out a year later that it turned into the same “archaeological strata of quick fixes” as your last legacy project?

One of my main interests with mruby is its ability to create standalone executables.

In 2025 I followed the direction many people headed in and switched my version manager to mise-en-place.

Back in 2018 I wrote a post about connecting Hanami (then 1.x) and Pagy gem together.

I use Doom Emacs as my main coding editor, and eglot for language server shenanigans.

Recently I’m finding myself leaning towards writing some Elixir code in a bit different way than the community standard.

Slices are my favourite architectural feature in Hanami.

Today I learned a valuable lesson about how a seemingly simple task can have very rough edge cases, which take hours to solve.

The other day I was loosely listening to a Code and the Coding Coders who Code it podcast episode with Vladimir Dementyev.
