Me and an experienced programmer friend sit down and try to teach him Elixir using the Elixir School curriculum and materials.

For this livestream I sat down with pen and (i)Pad and tried to hash out some of my design thinking for a product idea I’ve been turning over in my head.

I’ve worked with a number of clients on Elixir projects and I’ve onboarded myself, I’ve been onboarded and I’ve onboarded others.

A livestream where I created some parts of an overlay for my stream.

Membrane Framework allows processing media streams in a very high-level compelling way with Elixir.

Another live stream.

Last friday I did my second live stream.

The Lumen Project is an ambitious compiler development effort to create a complimentary set of compilers and tools that allow developers to get the power of the Erlang VM, The BEAM, in places it does not traditionally fit.

I asked my network on Twitter about noting ideas quickly and got a lot of good responses.

This is a small update to let you know that the RSS feed contains full content now.

Content warning: Contains poor technical decisions, inexperience and stories of a developer just starting out and up to roughly present day.

This continues our dive from part 1.

I recently wrote about the PETAL stack on Changelog.com and as I haven’t really had a chance to really get my hands dirty with it I decided that my next lab project should use it.

Before I did the independent thing I was a developer at a few different companies.

I want to shine a light on some podcasts that I really appreciated as I made my bid for independence and went out to contract, consult and strap boots.

I generally don’t track startup news and financing rounds closely but it filters in because I enjoy tech.

This has been the most fun I’ve had with JavaScript in some time.

Since I left my comfy job as the tech lead for a SaaS product and went into running my own business I took a closer look at my relationship with recruiters.

I’ve been mostly happy using a Mac since I got myself my first computer earned with programmer money.

The BEAM is the virtual machine that Erlang and Elixir runs on.

So any time recently that I’ve gone looking for a good overview of supervision trees in Elixir I haven’t found what I want.

So in my post Is this evil?

Chris Dosé was interviewed by us on Elixir Mix.

I've been looking at creating some progressively enhanced UI which shouldn't require JS for any basic operations.

This is a brief announcement.

I feel like a curmudgeonly sort recently.

I've been very surprised and delighted over a number of years now by Microsoft's strong efforts in open source.

This is about a reaction I noticed with myself in response to membership programs, patreons and individual sponsorship as I've run into significantly more of these following Corona.

On a recent Elixir Outlaws episode Chris Keathley told us all a nice story of the advantages of Elixir as opposed to Ruby.

My recent work with WordPress revived a frustration I built up while working with software from that era of the 2000's.

WordPress is approximately the most popular CMS out there.

Short update on the general state of things.

A little while back I released a tool for self-evaluating as a web developer.

I've been thinking a lot about inexperienced (junior, if you must) web developers and just how much there is to learn about programming in general but the web in particular.
