Any starship.rs + @neon.com users out there? 🚀💚 I just made a PR for the latest neonctl@2.28.0 release that makes it easy to show your current Neon branch right in your prompt! Copy-paste setup (or hand it to your coding agent) here: gist.github.com/thisistonyda...

Very sad to hear that Thinking Elixir is ending 😢 It was one of my favorite Elixir podcasts that I listened to weekly. If you're looking to fill the void, here are 3 Elixir podcasts that are still running: 1. Elixir Mentor 2. BEAM There, Done That 3. Elixir Wizards Lmk if you know of any others!

Updated some outdated stuff on my blog for the first time in 2 years. The site is still running on @astro.build v3 and @svelte.dev v4, which are both probably considered ancient in 2026 😅 Still gets a perfect Lighthouse score on mobile & desktop. Good web tech ages well ⚡

Watching an @elixirconf.bsky.social talk by @steffend.me and saw my name as a contributor to Phoenix! That's what I love about open source. You can contribute to tools you actually use and love, and become part of something bigger than yourself :) #ElixirLang

Surprised to see Phoenix mentioned in a survey about frontends. 🤔😅 Check out the State of Frontend 2024 results here: tsh.io/state-of-fro... #myelixirstatus

Chart from the State of Frontend Survey showing usage statistics for various frontend frameworks, surprisingly including Phoenix, which is primarily a backend framework.
