🙌 was fun (and productive) hanging out!

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 13/09/2025

Inaugural Ash Summit in full swing! Lecture hall full of Ash folks exploring the Ash ecosystem and releasing multiple new extensions! #goatmire #elixirlang

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 12/09/2025

Goatmire. What an incredible experience! Much love to @lawik.bsky.social and the team for bringing together one of the most diverse and meaningful conferences I've ever been to. All the talks were incredible but Flora's musical puppetry was a next level performance. Bravo! #elixirlang

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 10/09/2025

Goatmire kicks off with NervesConfEU and a talk about building autonomous cars with @nerves-project.org

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 28/08/2025

@joshuawood.honeybadger.io and I finally built the @ash-hq.org integration for @honeybadger.io, took 10mins with Claude Code to plan and build and bit more for testing the first version. Who ever said Ash extensions were hard to build?

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 07/08/2025

At @sydtechleaders.bsky.social tonight for the first time in a while, great turnout! Also if you want to come to the next ones then here’s the schedule

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 21/05/2025

Hey! Very cool idea

Want your LLMs to not rewrite the whole file? Give them a shell and a tool to use sed and regex! Or if you want AST patching code patching use igniter alembic.com.au/blog/igniter...

All you need to build an agent in Elixir is a GenServer (the hello world of OTP) #elixirlang

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

What makes Elixir so special? It’s what made Erlang so great: - Shorter Time To Market - Easier To Meet Future Demands - High Productivity - Shorter Programs - High Product Quality - Easy To Learn - Outstanding Robustness - Distributed Programming is "Trivial" - High Programmer Satisfaction

You’d think the team would be huge right? Not with Elixir. The BBC Elixir team is just 7 engineers!!

Handling errors gracefully is a matter of serving a stale page on 5xx server errors so at least something is served to users.

Fewer incidents means less time firefighting and more time building business features. Software Engineering nirvana!

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

BBC went from 100s of servers to 12 Insane cost savings and still able to deal with the tsunami of traffic with no risk of failure. Think of the peace of mind it gives engineers and the business!

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

The BBC deals with insanely large traffic spikes. Queen’s messages, football matches, prime ministers resigning… “Elixir is perfect for these scenarios, and has predictable behaviour under load”

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

Latency should be consistent

Migrating to a new language ecosystem is a big step and trepidation is high. Why use a new language? How can you prove the capability quickly? Build confidence in the org with testing and simulation and benchmarking.

Performance is obviously critical Elixir and the BEAM deliver!

This is what the DSL looks like

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

Pattern matching of URLs to determine routes at scale! ~7k route marchers ~13k redirects for older routes

📈 600m monthly page views. That’s a lot of web traffic and a big responsibility, perfect for Elixir and the BEAM!

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

Did you know that the BBC serves almost all of its web traffic using @elixirlang.bsky.social ? #elixirlang

Josh Price @joshprice.com · 16/05/2025

When you debug live on stage it’s handy if you have @josevalim.bsky.social close by
