Watching the tech industry unleash unpredictable software into production in the name of AI adoption, then spend twice as much time and money trying to limit the blast radius, proves humans should be investing in our own intelligence before allowing the machines to mimic us.

I just realised after many years, that one of the most important core differences between Ruby & Elixir is: - In Elixir killing a process is normal & planned & safe. - In Ruby killing a thread is dangerous & leads to all sort of troubles. This diff has everlasting impacts on code design & update

TIL: `--seed 0` disables the randomization of ExUnit tests, essentially ensuring the tests will run in the declaration order. Very useful when "watching" & using `--max-failures 1` to get consistent output as you TDD hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/1.19...
