The junior developer's job did not disappear. It moved from writing first drafts to directing and verifying them. New blog from @redrapids.bsky.social grox.io/blog/37-the-...

The codebase is no longer the scarce asset. Judgment is, and judgment lives in people. @redrapids.bsky.social on the structural moves that turn juniors into the seniors you will need later. grox.io/blog/32-how-juniors-become-seniors #ElixirLang

Teams keep treating the junior problem as talent. Bruce's argument is harsher: the work moved up the stack, agents took the basics, and we kept teaching for the old job. That is a training failure, not a hiring one. grox.io/blog/31-the-trainable-things

AI configuration shouldn't just be a personal preference that lives in your home directory. By moving instructions into the project repository, you turn AI tooling into shared infrastructure that is versioned and reviewed alongside your code. grox.io/blog/25-your... #ElixirLang

New Blog Post! groxio.com/blog/variabl...
People coming from Ruby/JS/Python keep tripping on this:

x = 1
x = 2

Looks like mutation, right?

Nope. In Elixir, = is pattern matching. Those are two separate bindings to two different values.

The old value still exists. The name just points somewhere else now.

This one shift explains why Elixir concurrency works without locks and why code stays predictable when things get messy.

Anyone in the @ash-hq.org community interested in championing the work on github.com/ash-project/...? I've got so much to do I just don't think I can give it the time it deserves. Think of it like an Ash wrapper around Phoenix.Sync with a bunch of goodies out of the box. Any takers? #ElixirLang 👇

As I'm about to send a few follow-up mails, I'm reminded how conferences are, above all, about human connection. @gigcityelixir.bsky.social was packed with insightful talks, of course, but what I'll remember most are the unstructured, informal chats about tech, life, and everything in between.

Presented how “Fellowes uses Nerves and Elixir”. I’m getting more and more excited for tomorrow’s talk “Object Oriented Elixir - It’s not what you think.” I have probably gone through about 10 different versions and finally discovered one I really like. #elixirlang @gigcityelixir.bsky.social
