OpenAI built a cool agentic project using Elixir! 🔥 #ElixirLang

@josevalim This is amazing 🤩

Lately I worked on compilation times for Elixir (and all BEAM languages). TL;DR: * Elixir v1.20 compiles ~10% faster on OTP 28 and ~20% faster on OTP 29 * Boot times on BEAM is roughly 10% faster on OTP 29 * A new interpreted mode in Elixir v1.20 compiles up to 5x faster 🧵👇

My only advice to CEOs this year.. Hire tinkerers. Make it high status. Find ones that will explore the edges and (ideally) naturally gifted at teaching people. Empower them to freely roam across the org and fix large problems that can be automated. All your execs will complain that these tinkerers don’t understand scale or systems (rollout being a favorite word). Listen, and ignore them. Or even better give them budget to hire a tinkerer to achieve their targets. Give these tinkerers ambition, purpose and hard targets and watch them fly.

@remote is automating complex HR data migrations at scale with a Code Execution Agent built on LangChain + LangGraph. By combining LLM reasoning with sandboxed Python execution, they're: • Transforming thousands of employee records into structured schemas in hours vs. days • Eliminating hallucinations by keeping large datasets outside the context window • Making migrations repeatable and auditable for sensitive compliance data across global jurisdictions Read the full guest post: blog.langchain.com/customers-remo…

@josevalim Congrats!!

Today we celebrate 15 years since Elixir's first commit. To mark the occasion, we shipped an early release candidate for Elixir v1.20 which has TYPE INFERENCE FOR ALL CONSTRUCTS.🎉 In the latest article, I break down the next ~15 weeks and the challenges for the next ~15 months.

This is the most fun moment to be a developer in years. The AI tools are imperfect, the patterns are still emerging, and there's genuine room for experimentation. Roll up your sleeves and build something. The earthquake is further opening up what's possible. The best news about this new layer: traditional engineering skills are more valuable than ever, not less. It helps us minimize shipping slop. Developers who already invested in CI/CD, testing, documentation, and code review are having the most success with AI tools. These "boring" foundations are accelerators. They turn agents from chaos generators into productivity multipliers. The real opportunity is learning to work at a different altitude. Instead of typing syntax, we're reviewing implementations, catching edge cases, and shipping features in hours that used to take days. That's genuinely exciting. Yes, there's a learning curve. Understanding how to provide context, iterate on plans, and review AI-generated code quickly takes practice. But this is learnable through doing - build small tools, review everything, develop intuition through repetition. The multiplier potential is real when you combine AI speed with engineering judgment. We're not replacing coding skills but we're finally able to focus them on the interesting problems while delegating the tedious parts.

New on the Anthropic Engineering Blog: Long-running AI agents still face challenges working across many context windows. We looked to human engineers for inspiration in creating a more effective agent harness. anthropic.com/engineering/ef…

@andreasklinger @marcelolebre @Jobvo @remote Partly. We made mass updates to the inline endpoints specs using Cursor, and that required LLMs because it involved inference that a script couldn’t handle. Then we generated code with a script. It was a strong experiment, and we will write it up

@marcelolebre @Jobvo @remote feels like an important information but tbh - unsure why - i would feel better if cursor would write a codemod and then this would do that amount of changes deterministically

Yesterday an engineer at @remote ran a single prompt in cursor touching ~2400 files. Took ~16 hours, but worked. The secret was a massive markdown file as prompt with examples and clear instructions

@svileng @remote @Workday Really excited to see this partnership go live! Let’s go!!

@remote @StaminaLoops @Workday Let’s gooo 🚀 🚀 🚀

@Workday + Remote Expanded partnership set to eliminate payroll complexity. Workday GO Global Payroll. Coming very soon. ⚡ 👉 okt.to/DyLej9

I rarely celebrate but @Jobvo and I have been quietly building the backbone for modern global payroll and we finally get to share it. @remote will power @Workday global payroll - beautifully crafted infrastructure and powered by next-gen AI. The future of payroll is here.

Elixir v1.19 released: enhanced type checking, broader type inference, and up to 4x faster compilation for large projects! elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/10/1… A huge thank you to Fresha, Starfish*, and Dashbit for sponsoring the type system, plus @CNRS and @Remote for making it possible.

@proxylazarus Yes, since day zero elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/01/2…

@StaminaLoops elixir for core products?

Our codebase compiles ~55% faster with Elixir v1.19.0-rc.2!

@christomitov Since day zero, Elixir has been our primary BE technology

@christomitov elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/01/2…

@AmirHaTzafon Compared to version 1.18.3 :)

@StaminaLoops Any insights on how and why it's such a massive improvement?
