Happy Sunday, let's continue creating our #PEG #PackratParser generator in #GleamLang! Today we'll work on some optimizations of the abstract forms that should produce better generated code. Join me at 1:30PM CDT: youtube.com/live/aZsSw8U...

Mike Zornek, looking for work. @mikezornek.com · 08/09/2026

💜 A favor to ask: I'm looking to land Elixir consulting work. To help get in front of new faces, I have a "one problem, two weeks, $6,000" offer. Aimed at one nagging thing: a flaky test suite, a stalled upgrade. The debt that falls on the floor. A share or an intro would mean a lot. 🙏 #ElixirLang

Just want to announce the launch of Aurora Meter, a free MIT open source metering solution for the elixir & phoenix framework. I would genuinely like to hear what metering shapes people have hand-rolled in their own apps. Github: github.com/liamkillingb... site: aurorameter.com

If your app asks for a review before the user has succeeded, that is not growth. That is impatience.

phx.gen.auth is a gift to practical developers. You get a strong baseline for users, sessions, confirmation, and login flows, then you can spend your learning energy on the app-specific domain. 🚀

Phoenix layouts are not just decoration. They encode product structure. In the loyalty app, the dashboard layout teaches routing, authentication context, navigation state, and responsive UI in one practical place

A useful LiveView rule: ✖️ do not dump huge data into assigns just because you can. Assigns are per connected user. ✅ Keep the state focused and your real-time app stays healthier.

A LiveView is a long-lived process. A controller request is short-lived. That one difference explains why LiveView has `mount`, `handle_params`, `handle_event`, and `handle_info`. A controller only needs to exist for one moment. A LiveView needs to be a full OTP entity because it "lives" 🚀.

021

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

LiveView diffing is easy to underestimate. The server does not resend the whole page on every click. It tracks rendered output and sends changes. That is why server-rendered interaction can still feel fast 🔥🚀.

040

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

If your admin dashboard is mostly forms, tables, modals, and status updates, LiveView is worth a serious look. You can build rich interactions without inventing a separate frontend state architecture.

✅ LiveView state lives in assigns. 🚀 Change the assigns, the UI updates. 🔥 For admin dashboards, forms, tables, filters, and CRUD flows, that simplicity can replace a lot of frontend ceremony.

010

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

LiveView is not "no JavaScript ever." It is "start with server-rendered state, use WebSockets for interaction, and reach for JS only when the browser truly owns the behavior." That is a very productive default.

Getting azure openai deployments to play nicely with codex is always a pain in the backside..😕.

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

🚀 The `conn` struct is the story of an HTTP request. 🔥 The socket is the story of a LiveView session. Learning Phoenix gets easier when you track where state lives.

Phoenix pipelines are underrated. They let you say, "all browser requests need these steps" or "all API requests need these checks." 🔥 That one idea keeps controllers boring, which is a compliment.🔥

A Phoenix plug is just a function that receives a connection and returns a connection. Authentication, API keys, request metadata, and redirects all become composable steps instead of hidden middleware soup.

001

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Phoenix is great for APIs because the boundaries are explicit: ✅ router ✅ pipeline ✅ controller ✅ context ✅ schema ✅ changeset ✅ repo Once you see the request move through those pieces, the framework feels much less magical.

000

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Phoenix feels familiar if you know Rails or Laravel, but the foundation is different. ✅ Each request runs in a lightweight process. 🚀 Real-time features sit close to the framework. 🔥The BEAM changes what "web framework" can mean.🔥

000

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

"Let it crash" does not mean "ignore errors." It means design isolated processes, supervise them, and recover predictably. Fault tolerance is architecture, not vibes.

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Built and deployed a small app for scheduling posts. I noticed that some earlier posts were never sent. Turns our these were the problem entries in fly.toml. auto_stop_machines = 'stop', min_machines_running = 0 <------ Duh!

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

✅ "call" asks a GenServer for a reply. ✅ "cast" sends a message and moves on. That difference matters. If the caller needs a result, use "call". If the work can happen asynchronously, "cast" may fit.🔥

140

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

A GenServer is not "a global variable with extra steps." It is a process with a mailbox, state, and a public API. Use it when you need controlled state over time, not when a plain function would do.🔥

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

The BEAM process model is one of Elixir's superpowers, but the practical lesson is simple: isolate work 🔥. If one customer notification fails, it should not take down the entire app. That is the mindset behind resilient apps.🚀

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Functional programming gets less intimidating when you stop treating it like math. In a real app, it often means: receive data, transform it, validate it, persist it, return a clear result.

✅ `Enum` is for eager collection work. ✅ `Stream` is for lazy pipelines. You do not need Streams everywhere. You need them when the input is large, expensive, or potentially infinite. Practical Elixir is mostly knowing when not to be clever 🚀.

Beginner Elixir mistake: using maps for everything. Maps are flexible, but too much flexibility lets bad data travel farther. Structs give your app a stronger vocabulary: Customer, Reward, Purchase, Survey. 🔥

✅ A tuple is great when the shape is fixed and position matters. ✅ A map is better when names matter. ✅ A struct is better when you want a known domain shape. That small decision shows up everywhere in Phoenix apps.

Pattern matching is the reason Elixir code often feels calm. Instead of checking everything manually, you let shapes tell the story: `{:ok, value}`, `{:error, reason}`, `%{id: id}`. The code reads like the contract.

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

If you come from JavaScript or Python, Elixir immutability can feel strange at first. The trick: stop asking "how do I update this object?" Ask "what new value should this step return?" That shift removes a surprising amount of hidden state.

Sriram Kota @sriramskota.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

The pipe operator is not just prettier nesting. It changes how you think: each function receives data, transforms it, and hands it forward. That mental model maps beautifully to API params, Ecto changesets, and Flutter response parsing

After a week with AI, I converted the first version of Base UI into Phoenix headless components. 🚀 35+ new components added. This week: testing and refactoring. Not in the CLI yet, but you can already try it in Mishka Chelekom. github.com/mishka-group... #ElixirLang
