My drawings are in London! No way!

Lots of great talks at Code BEAM Vancouver. Lorena rocking the house, with a shoutout to @erik_stenman and his fantastic BEAM book.

Hey Elixir network! I'm back to the job market! Currently I'm looking for opportunities with Elixir. I'm in CDMX, so the options looks like are limited for me. If you know something about a position, please share with me, I'll appreciate your support in this situation #ElixirLang

@jacob_luetzow @ExMexConf My very good friend and ex colleague at ErlangSolutions Raul Chouza is going to give a talk, he’s very active in the Gleam community 😏

Who do I get to meet at @ExMexConf? Finally got my flights booked. #myelixirstatus #elixirlang

Keynote of Make with @NotionHQ by @ivanhzhao Watch Party in CDMX thanks to @helenismo @torcdotdev

I just finished putting together interactive Livebook notebooks for every chapter of Advanced Functional Programming with Elixir. You can now run all the examples in your browser. Or like me, spin them up locally with Docker: joekoski.com/blog/2025/09/1… #elixirlang #AFPElixir

@_denial Yeah, I never expect be rejected by an elixir job because I don't have JS experience

@carlogilmar similar with Rails/React I can build the world in RoR at god's image But shitty ass react it's to bigger to die

Today I was rejected from an Elixir position because I don't have experience in Next.js 😁 This are crazy times guys

@ShawnMcCool Indeed!

@carlogilmar Dodged a bullet maybe?

@douglas_correa Yeah, first interviews are weird, they asked me about what many years of experience I have in "pipelines". Just "pipelines", when I asked what it means, the recruiter told me we couldn't continue because I didn't have the Next.js experience hehe

@carlogilmar Sometimes they have a huge list. And they expect you have "Strong experience" in each one of them. Unless you are in the market being overemployed during more than 5 years, you will have "Strong experience" in multiple technologies.

@thebiggergeek Yeah, most of the recruiters doesn't have any knowledge in Elixir/Erlang, so they are reviewing CV's with their bullet lists

@carlogilmar Very weird experience. I would have been conflicted if I got such feedback except the company requires a full stack engineer

@sriramskota Yeah, the good part is that I'm learning to say what the recruiter wants to hear from me. That's the trick

@carlogilmar Man I feel you 😬.

@douglas_correa It's really crazy and sad hehe

@carlogilmar Unfortunately that applies to any language, framework, package, etc. I think I've worked as "sixth party" contractor few times

Looks like work in consultancy is work as the contractor of the contractor of the contractor of the contractor of the contractor whom have a client who is using Elixir...

I'm tired folks.

I suppose the recruiter wants me to send a recording of me speaking in english for evaluate me, I'm free to ask for the privacy polity to know how they are going to use my recording, right?

@frantz_willian hehe as they doesn't know Elixir, is more harder they understand the power of the LiveViews hehe

@carlogilmar Agreed, and I believe that should be our new side hustle, to spread the word of LiveView

Looks like the most difficult part of get an Elixir job is be a master in React 😁 I had some interviews with recruiters that doesn't have any context of Elixir or Erlang, and for them having experience in React have the same importance than have many years in Elixir.

@hugobarauna Wow! I've never been in an ElixirConf yet, I hope to attend my first conf next year 🤞

Next year ElixirConf US will be in Chicago. 🙂 #ElixirConf #ElixirLang

Just watched the @ElixirConf keynote from @josevalim about the #Elixir Update, here you have my notes about it Speakers stipend elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/06/0… Global Meetups globalelixirmeetups.com

@Nbm51982662 Oh wow! This is really helpful! I truly appreciate so much 🙏

Well, looks like get an elixir job is really complicated nowadays ☹️ Maybe it’s time to switch to other stack with more opportunities
