{:ok, Noah}

Happy Friday! I spent some time solving @flydotio's "Gossip Glomers" distributed systems challenges in #ElixirLang: github.com/Nezteb/gossip_… The code needs some cleanup, but all of the challenge tests pass! #MyElixirStatus

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

we’ve signed Zero Data Retention agreements with all providers for Go all models now follow a zero-retention policy your data is not used for training

⚠️ Heads up: Code BEAM Vancouver ticket prices increase in 2 days. Save your spot now before it costs more. #tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">codebeamvancouver.com/#tickets

Apparently there's some confusion about the advantages of BEAM, so I'll shamelessly self-plug my GOTO talk which aims to present this in a short demo-driven story (based on the true events I've encountered in varius production systems). youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4X…

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 1/4

We've officially published the first release candidate for the Expert language server and would appreciate all the help we can get to test it! #myelixirstatus Thank you everyone who has helped get us this far, it really has been a monumental effort.

We have converted our Livebook Desktop app to Tauri. If you're using Livebook, please give it a try by downloading the nightly builds: #desktop-app" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/livebook-dev/l… Our goal is to extract the Tauri integration as a separate package to make it easier for people to ship Tauri+Elixir.

@josevalim Tiny note: the String.trim example doesn't include any whitespace (i.e. #L1375" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/elixir-lang/el…) Regardless, I loved reading the post!

Here is my take on why Elixir is the best language for AI: immutability, documentation, stability, and tooling for coding agents. It builds on the recent study in which Elixir had the highest completion rate across models among 20 different languages. Link in the thread below.

We just published a new blog post on the state of search and the critical need for open index access. The dawn of a healthier, user-centric web is possible, but it requires structural change. blog.kagi.com/waiting-dawn-s…

Announcement: elixir-lang.org/blog/2026/01/0… TL;DR: sound gradual type system with type inference that finds bugs for free (mostly) without changes to the code.

@rtfeldman @MahfuzVanGogh @StarCityGames You'd probably also like Dredge the game: store.steampowered.com/app/1562430/DR… 😄

@MahfuzVanGogh @StarCityGames ggs, and thanks for all the great videos! 😃

Getting kind words from someone who helped shape how I first learned Dredge feels like a true full-circle moment. @rtfeldman, your Dredge article on @StarCityGames had a big impact on me years ago and is still a classic among us Dredgers. This exchange really means a lot. Thanks!

The key takeaway this year: static typing doesn't prevent runtime exceptions. If you assume it does, you'll write systems that will fall apart when bugs or unexpected conditions appear. Types make you reason about errors statically, but mistakes and exceptions will still happen.

One of my favorite ElixirConf US 2025 talks: youtube.com/watch?v=IhW6is… #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang #ElixirConf @polvalente is a king of puns and numbers!

After nearly two years of waiting for @IloveRockchip to fix their FFmpeg copyright violation, one of the FFmpeg developers acted. Thousands of lines of code were copied from FFmpeg.

Twitter making the "For you" tab the default, even after I click "Following" every damn time, is honestly going to kill the remaining interest I have in visiting this site. 🥲

We extracted Nimble ZTA (Zero Trust Auth) from @livebookdev as a separate package for Plug/Phoenix: dashbit.co/blog/zero-trus… - basically, the simplest way to add auth to an internal app when your identity management and deployments are on the same platform (GCP/Cloudflare/etc).

First time trying to use Twitter in months and my account gets locked. I unlock it, and then it removes all of the people I was following... More of a reason to never come back. 😭

The issue with the Result type is that it forces you to think about error cases (good) but then leaves you up to your own devices to handle them (bad). It should be no surprise you will get it wrong or make bad assumptions at some point. The whole point of Erlang/Elixir is to assume things will fail and provide a mental model around that. So when you mess up error handling somewhere, there are system-level mechanics in place. A type system for Erlang/Elixir is an attempt at getting the best of both worlds.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Trusting only one of those mechanisms to give you complete coverage is always going to be limited.

🚀 New release: elixir-grpc v0.11.4! Beautiful and practical new documentation — now with interactive Livebooks to learn & play with gRPC in real-time. Plus new stream features: ✨ effects for side-effect orchestration 🛠️ map_error for smarter error handling #MyElixirStatus
