Recently, I was asked interesting question. If the purpose of an actor is to protect mutable state, is a stateless actor pointless? It is definitely something to look at closely, but there are some uses that can make sense. www.massicotte.org/stateless-ac...

Stateless Actors

The purpose of an actor is to protect mutable state. But even an actor with no state to protect can serve a purpose.

i deleted all social media besides bluesky (which honestly i should as well) and my mental health skyrocketed. so much opportunity is missed to just enjoy something cause you see what a million other people say before forming your own opinion

first dungeons and dragons sessions as a dungeon master was a great success. Dragons of Stormwreck Isles is such a great campaign to start with. everyone was new to the game and everyone said yes to a second session :) #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

built a cli tool awhile back that does a query cost analysis ($$) with @clickhouse.com by looking at the system table and doing some simple maths with your infra cost. curious if people care about their dollar cost per query vs. cpu cost etc #DataEngineering #Clickhouse #DatabasePerformance

is elixir all that it’s cracked up to be? hard to get over not having types and im not a fan of the gradual typing that’s being introduced

tyler @tjb.dev · 03/01/2026

ive been in a couple software engineering communities and so far my favorites are: 1. clojure: everyone is very kind and willing to help. lots of senior engineers in the space 2. swift/ios: lots and lots of builder here which is awesome. indie dev is alive. everyone is willing to answer questions.

as much as i love other languages (esp those that focus more on FP) i always come back to java. something about it being my first language and it feeling like home just "feels right". does anyone else feel this way with their first language?
