I love DeepSeek V4 Flash so much. It tends to run amok sometimes, so V4 Pro to write a plan + GPT 5.6 Luna/something else as an advisor and you have a dirt cheap coding setup.

Love the product and use it daily, and I'm glad to see that the server component is written both in #ElixirLang and #GleamLang (will read the source later this week).

People: MusicBrainz still exists? MusicBrainz:
A screenshot with the title “MusicBrainz Entity Count Statistics”.

The screenshot itself has a graph called “Exact values (items vs. day)”, which ranges from 0-7 million on the vertical axis, and from the years 2000 to 2026 on the bottom axis. There are multiple coloured lines, each representing areas, artists, events, intruments, labels, etc, and most of them look to be increasing exponentially!

It was really fun! I tried to ramble as little as possible. My main point was that pi lets me build tools that are tightly integrated, and usable by me and the LLM. It helps me being more effective without relinquishing control.

This next year is going to be extremely testing financially. Cost of living continues to grow & interest rates are crazy high. In the next 6 months I'm going to have to somehow earn a *lot* more just to continue to barely stay above the waterline. Not sure what to do. Suggestions on a postcard!

I’ll be available in a part-time capacity for #ElixirLang work within the next month or two. If you open my profile you can find my website with a link to my talks, and I’m fairly easy to find on LinkedIn for past work experience.

@zachdaniel.dev before I open an issue and possibly a PR, is there any appetite to have a `usage_rules.list_available_rules` (or other name) mix task that simply tells you what's available in a project at a given point in time?

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

I've been researching and playing with Event Sourcing and related patterns for years now, but it's an expensive hobby. If anyone's interested in (paid) introductions to the patterns and ideas, or workshops on the matter, hit me up! I honestly believe understanding it can provide a lot of value.

@burningshed.com I’m trying to find out information about a uk prog band I heard on radio, it’s called Axiom Shift. Both music and what I could find (little) makes me think it’s an AI experiment, but I was wondering if you had more info?

So DHH has gone fully open right winger and racist? Maybe that gets people to stop sharing and reading his takes. If you still share that motherfucker's writing (even on tech) or advertise his business rethink your whole life decisions and move to the woods or something.
