Made an #elixirlang SDK for bentonow.com email marketing automation service hex.pm/packages/ben... I love adding docs as liveview documents, makes it so easy to “show rather than tell” how to use and work with it.

のくちーず (Nokucheese) is a bakery recently opened in Mizonokuchi. The name is a terrible pun: (Mizo)noku~chi ➡️ noku~cheese 🤦🏼‍♀️ The crusty bread is amazing 🍞and tricky to find in Japan. Nokucheese was recently opened by @jason.jagaimo.com who I know… which is also surprising 😂

A photo from inside a bakery. A man (the owner, Jason) stands behind the counter, which displays a collection of different crusty breads. There is a Christmas decoration reading “Joy Noel” on the glass counter top, and an inflatable Santa on the back wall. Chalkboard behind Jason list sandwiches and bread prices in Japanese

Oh that's right, it's Black Friday! Buy my book for cheap, or don't. Kindle is $€£ 5 bc it's nearing 5,000 copies sold! I'd set the paperback at that price, too, but I'd make negative money so Amazon won't let me. So it's $€£ 9.99 www.amazon.co.uk/Deploy-Empat... www.amazon.de/Deploy-Empat...

I started phxlvweekly.com for #ElixirLang Phoenix & LiveView news a couple of years back but then started a time-intensive Ruby gig and couldn't find the time to do write a good post each week. Since I've finished that contract and am back on the freelance market, thinking I'd love to resurrect.

My co-founder of AgendaScope.com blogged about how we solved our problem of creating multiple and evolving demo accounts using a custom script language in #ElixirLang. It’s rather neat, I think! mattmower.com/posts/make-d...

We use mailpace.com for sending transactional emails. Except I can honestly never remember their name - they changed from ohmysmtp.com years ago and I *always* remember that and go there and get redirected. Was a _much_ better name if you ask me. mailpace is so generic.

So I guess I'm available for #Ruby on #Rails or #ElixirLang Phoenix contracts again! 20 years of working with Rails, most of my career working remotely for US, UK and Australian companies, built more Rails apps that I can remember, happiest in small, fast moving (and sometimes 'scrappy') teams.

That has me beat! But some of my previous jobs: - McDonalds. Got a regular “lacks hustle” on my reviews. - Night-shift order picking at DIY mega warehouse. Walked a *lot* - Typing numbers from a hand written paper into a green screen terminal. Just numbers. All day. Numbers. Nothing else.

Absolutely fascinating to watch the increasing flow of tech-adjacent folks arriving to bsky and announcing their move to here. Not a tipping point yet, but it doesn't feel impossible anymore. Not inevitable, but certainly a possibility, especially for a lot of the tech crowd that I'm interested in.
