Working on improving PostHog error tracking for complex OTP errors. Chained exceptions is a fairly good fit. Hopefully will ship soon!

And who didn't want Oban job to just do the right thing for a small price of $0.003?

How about a general purpose term() -> 🪄magic✨ -> string() function? You creativity is the limit!

Handwave 👋 New Hex package that allows you to point in the general direction of desired outcome and let LLM figure it out. Sometimes, you just need a smarter if: #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

You mean this one? Admittedly I'm not great at UI so it's not very obvious to me.

I finally updated one of my side projects to Phoenix 1.8 and DaisyUI. Looks much better now. Under the hood it runs ~100k Oban jobs per day and costs less than $5 per month to host. #ElixirLang is truly a miracle tech.

Hmm, so with all my work on LogHog and DiscoLog, I have all building blocks in place to create a bot that will forward Discord gateway events to PostHog 🤔

PostHog Error Tracking might not support Elixir, but that won't stop Elixir from supporting it! #ElixirLang

Took me a while to realize but this isn't a proper highlighting, Github!

Ever found yourself inside an ExUnit test with a caught error on your hands wondering how to fail with this exact error and stacktrace? Well, it's a little too late, but I'm not here to judge, I'm here to show you how

Having your logger online in a discord server feels very nice

TIL ExUnit can't guarantee processes spawned in a test stop by the time next test starts. One of the implications is that if you register the process under the same name between tests, the name might not become free in time. To address this, use start_supervised family of helpers #ElixirLang

Sorry, I meant the one that's supposed to have N+1 problem. I believe `Repo.get(Post) |> Repo.preload(:comments)` always makes 2 requests, which isn't N+1?

For a long time, my "benchmarking target" was for a model to understand that "Monarch Manufacturer" means Kingmaker. But as of today I have a new one: recognizing that Abovaults is Abomination Vaults. I guess the easiest way to trick AI is to mess with tokens. Back to prompt engineering!

I was this 🤏close to a ExUnit disaster today

Could I pin all libraries to the versions used in the book? Of course. Will I do it? No, of course not.
