iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

There are conferences, and then, there's Goatmire. It was such an incredible experience that I'm struggling to find the words to summarize it. But I'll do my best, and I shall do so without the assistance of an LLM, because this event deserves nothing less 😉

A new AI model called Jev launched last week and went viral. It's not an LLM. It doesn't generate text or pictures, but could be very us...

I love getting spam PRs only to navigate to their profile to see the user has also submitted hundreds of other PRs to hundreds of repos in ~5 minutes and GitHub doesn’t for a second slow them down. Bot detection 25 years ago was better than what GitHub can scrape together today, it’s astounding.

To whom it may concern. Those markdowns produced by agents are not human-readable. They're not even human-readable-adjacent.

Whenever someone asks me if they should use Erlang (or Elixir) for their backends, my immediate thought is always "of course, what else?". I don't always give that answer, but I do believe that from a strictly technical point of view, it is the correct one. Perhaps more than ever in the vibe era.

I have to admit, I have zero excitement about this latest flurry of new model releases I am sure they are all better, but the existing ones were more than good enough, and I'm learning how much to trust those existing ones... and already they do more than I can utilize them (for writing code)

If a person sitting on the bicycle is completely obscuring the view of the bicycle (think total eclipse), does the square count as a "square with bicycle"? Asking for a friend 😅

LLMs can make you produce more code faster, but is that actually a good thing? Maybe your product is good because of the features that you choose not to build. jola.dev/posts/limite...

Limited output is a feature

Great startups don't win because they write more code, they win because they think differently.

I saw someone online clowning on NimbleCSV for being slow using a contrived vibecoded benchmark comparing it to a Rust NIF, so I present a technical rebuttal: gist.github.com/Nezteb/02de1... #ElixirLang Don't be cringe online; NimbleCSV is great; don't blame it for your bad parsing decisions.
