hi @bartblast.com isnt something missing from hologram.page/docs/quick-s...? Ive generated a new phoenix app and added the components mentioned under holo/lib/holo_web/blog. How should I wire this up in the router.ex? Or do I wire it somewhere else?

LLM's are the best code commenters in the world, if you take the time to specify clearly what you want and dont want in a comment. If you make the LLM write the code, make sure you make it write good comments as well.

The throw - catch and raise - rescue dichotomy in #ElixirLang is very confusing. Am I supposed to just know if some library is throwing or raising errors?

Newest version of 18XXc as a new feature. It is now possible to directly input the route value instead of composing it from the stops and bonuses. It takes advantage of the fact that route totals are always a multiple of 10, so it automatically multiplies the input by 10. #18xx

Hi @zachdaniel.dev would you mind sharing what technology you are building your AI stack in? Im guessing elixir and ash, but are there some other key pieces that you would be willing to share? Need to build something similar, would appreciate the info.

@zed.dev hi! Where do I put the agent harness configuration in Zed? e.g. the personal AGENTS.md, the personal skills, personal subagents, slash commands? Is this something I can share with opencode/pi/etc? I am working on a team where people are using different tools and would like to consolidate

agents.md

AGENTS.md

AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

When building a GenServer, some handle_call's belong with some handle_info's. I wish the compiler could handle specifying them together, instead of forcing me to group all handle_call's together, all handle_info's together. To me this is sacrificing code structure to benefit the compiler #ElixirLang

Model your domain, ask for the rest. I think 95% of CRUD busywork might just go poof with the combined powers of #Ash and LLMs. This is unreasonably effective. #ElixirLang

What Im thinking now about LLM coding is; sure, it is liberating not being held back by gaps in knowledge; yes I can now easily build 10k LOC in 1 week; but can I bring it over the line? Can I finish the work and create something useful? Or will it crumble under the weight of accumulative complexity

My Claude Code is using phrases like "my instict is.." and "my preference is..." Is this thing just going to will itself into consciousness?

I know its not very important, but I wish I could do descibe "..." do describe "..." do .. end end #ElixirLang

Claude Code is an excellent teacher. I thought I had a problem with my Ash validations (argument not allowed to be null, but the resource was created when missing) but turned out to be a known and defined behaviour with Ash.Geneartors The more you know, and the sooner you know it. #ElixirLang

mg @morng.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Claude Code generates #ElixirLang and Ash code like a champ, and it uses Tidewave MCP search the docs and to test all validations and changes and whatever else I ask it to build. I feel Ash/Elixir are designed to encourage building bottom up, piece by piece, and Claude is very efficient for that.

TreeSitter and LSP functionality is not very good with Phoenix CoLocated hooks. Is there some way to use src to refer to a js or ts file that is colocated with the LiveView heex file? #ElixirLang

Using a 'zipper' just to traverse a list in both directions is so unnatural to me as someone that is used to random access data structures. My brain is still not wired for this. #ElixirLang

Played a game of 18SJ. The incremental phase slows the game down IMO but we could probably push the trains faster. 3 companies got nationalized, 1 by design and 2 by accident. The yellow is helpful but maybe it guides the map to a similar shape every game? #18xx

I've watched @mitsuhiko.at latest video on his way of doing agentic coding. Watched it 3 times already. Today I tried it. I wrote a spec for a feature. I asked Claude to read it and tell me what it thought. Had a back and forth, Claude would come in with questions, I would update the spec to...

Is the Apple Watch automatically deleting podcast episodes (that I have not listened to), or is it an Overcast issue? I cannot believe how bad the process of downloading episodes is on AW, and this "cleanup" is making everything worse. This thing has WiFi and 5G, why is is so bad at downloading

Just finished season 2 of The Leftovers. I am still very confused with where this show is going; I don't understand the point of many plot lines and the motivations of most characters remains a mystery to me. But the show is very good at evoking sadness. Onwards I guess.

I used Claude Code to search through my entire @obsidian.md for certain phrases (and include common variants and misspellings) in both path and node contents. Then I told it to send the entire list of matched files to a running neovim instance in another tmux window as an arglist. Amazed.

18XXc v3.15 is out. It contains a fix for some nasty bugs that affected custom games that go introduced in v3.12. Turns out rewriting most of the state in the app in one go (procrastinated over 3 years) did have some undesirable side effects #18xx

Hate to say this, but the update to @obsidian.md 1.9 has been rough. It regularly takes up to 5 minutes to start up, when I switch files there is a few second lag from when the title updates until the contents update, and for some reason git regularly needs to refetch the index for my notes repo

Played 18Texas. A bad 18xx is still way better than most other board games; and it was a pleasant experience enough. But this is one toothless game. A friend called it a baby game. Apt. No opportunities for attacks anytime during. Very soft, very safe. #18xx

why oh why hasnt Google put some effort into making adb work reliably with the Android emulator. Why is it still regularly going into some bad state where it insists that the emulator is offline. Do people at Google actually use this dogsh** or is there some other secret tool they use?

18XXc v3.13 is out. It adds one thing: support for 18Texas. Cause that is what I will be playing in a few days. That game has some unique rules: how the auction is executed to ensure each player ends with one private, the stock price pop on float, how a company can end train less without recourse.

I hate python's Significant Whitespace soo much. I have now spent an hour debugging and the cause was that a break statement was indented once to many, and so it broke out of the wrong loop. Its not like python doesn't already mark blocks; every block starts with a ":". Just add an "end" plz.

Claude almost had me compiling Postgres from source in my nix shell setup to enable the pg_trgm extension, before I noticed I had referenced it as pg_tgrm in the Ash extension list. Still mildly dyslexic after all these years, when will I learn #ElixirLang

Hi @krisajenkins.bsky.social you need to get cameron dot pfiffer dot org on your excellent show to talk about void dot comind dot network Whatever is going on there is something else (not at-ing cameron directly, I dont know him and you have probably your own way of contacting people for the show)
