Last year I re-connected with the #ElixirLang community at AlchemyConf and Goatmire—very excited to head back to ElixirConf (flying tomorrow to Chicago)!

I’d really appreciate it if my brain would restrict work-related creative pondering (and maybe especially significant breakthroughs) to my normally scheduled work hours, thank you.

I don’t work with XML in anger much anymore, but when I do I wonder how I could ever forget how woefully inadequate and frustrating Erlang/OTP’s built-in support tends to be. (Today’s gripe brought to you by me trying to use `xmerl_xsd` to validate against a spec that `xmllint` deals with handily.)

There’s a lot to like about gleam, but one aspect that doesn’t get a lot of attention is the security focus of the development team. Gleam offers great tooling and platforms for building secure and resilient web applications and services. gleam.run/news/help-fr...

This is, and I am not even joking, going to fuck up so many hyperlexic kids. I got accused of plagiarism because I used the word “porous” in a sixth grade paper and that shit sticks with you, if not on the permanent record, then in the childhood.

I have been having the *best* time building a terrible, old school MUD (with new school twists) using #gleamlang lately. I highly recommend indulging yourself in nostalgic rebuild projects from time-to-time—even ones you may never share—they’re a blast!

I love how deliciously chaotic peonies can be, and how that’s a defining feature of their beauty. (Filed under “consoling thoughts that I tell myself any time I `git push` something to other human beings.”)

Something I’ve discovered about myself: while I absolutely love to cook and enjoy challenging recipes in real life, if you make me cook in your game and you haven’t made it at least as simple as a Zelda’s, I feel both too dumb and too bored to bother.

Very excited to be planning a return trip to South Korea next year… and to be going in the Spring. I largely grew up in the deserts of the US Southwest and humidity of the Southeast—but nothing could have prepared me for touring South Korea during last year’s heatwaves.

Glad you dont have vEDS; that was an early worry here! cEDS confirmed genetically + hypermobility disorder, too. Pretty similar. Do you have issues with travel stress & hot weather? (Ask me sometime about our fun tour of Busan, South Korea via ambulance during a heat wave.)

110

Bruce Williams @bruce.io · 01/04/2026

It was a long trip to figure it out, too; the EDS + POTS + MCAS is such a torment nexus of co-morbitities, and that’s before you try to navigate health care providers, insurance, etc.

Bruce Williams @bruce.io · 01/04/2026

My wife has MCAS and we were *just* talking about this—for her, Singulair (which she just started) has been so, so helpful. Glad you’re feeling better, it can be so debilitating.

Same with my Kia EV9. I keep it between 20–80%, plugging it into the L2 charger at home at most once a week for <$10 a pop. No urge to go back. Even long road trips are perfectly feasible with just a little bit of planning.
