@christhekeele I’ll check in that version if it’s not mine later and report back/say what mine is, I think very similar though from memory

@christhekeele Yeah but does yours work for you actually in IEx.exs? The issue was in importing the module defined inline, it’s a neat trick, just wondering why/if it works for you not me, what’s your Erlang and elixir version? Wouldn’t think this changed recently though

@christhekeele Oh, but, hmm, the multi line pasting isn't working correctly with my unquote version, so, not quite there...

@christhekeele Plus obviously still need the IEx.configure line after, couldn't fit in tweet. Otherwise, I get: ** (CompileError) .iex.exs:14: module CustomIEXHelpers is not loaded but was defined. This happens when you depend on a module in the same context in which it is defined.

@christhekeele So, this didn't work for me in my ~/.iex.exs as is, though it worked pasted in... to make it work directly from my .iex.exs, I had edit to this: {:module, mod, _bin, _nil} = defmodule CustomIEXHelpers do def iex(n), do: IEx.Helpers.v(n) end quote do import unquote(mod) end

Oklahoma plans to kill Richard Glossip on May 18. The state's own attorney general has said that this would be a "grave injustice," but other people in Oklahoma are determined to go ahead and kill him. Sound crazy? Keep reading; it gets crazier.

⁦@neilhimself⁩ I’m finally getting around to Sandman overture and reading the intro and… is this a joke I’m not getting? A typo? Another burble that no-one caught? 🤣 Hope Todd wasn’t insulted! 🙃

@neilhimself @VanityFair Yeah iunclear/there is a cut around there, don’t know why they’d intentionally misquote you unless you talked about both at greater length than they wanted and they just didn’t notice the effect 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was pretty sure you knew, but wasn’t sure if you watched video/could tell which

@bglusman @VanityFair Horn is definitely the true dreams gate. Don't know if it was edited or I just burbled.

@neilhimself no judgment; did @VanityFair mis-edit the video to imply gates of ivory are what true dreams come through, or did you just misspeak in the moment? (~13:20). Just curious, for a minute I did a double take and thought I had them wrong all these years! 🤣

@DarkMarmot @wilton_quinn You're not welcome. asciinema.org/a/miktULEEDwmx…

@elixirphoenix We use it at @PepsiCo eComm!

We need a list of companies using LiveView in production. If you'd like to be featured, we'd love to hear from you!

@iteamon @PepsiCo EComm is hiring Elixir heavily! Cc @PepsiCoJOBS it’s essentially a startup culture/process within Pepsi, been there a year now and highly recommended!

I'm looking for a new fully remote position. Let me know if you need an experienced Elixir developer with a passion for infrastructure. DMs are open (RT = 💜) #MyElixirStatus

Explicit is not better than implicit. A good abstraction elevates the stuff that matters to your program and hides the stuff that doesn't matter to your program. A bad abstraction hides stuff that matters to your program, nags you about stuff that doesn't matter, or both.

Those of us who remember when open source was the novel underdog, allowing us to learn, grow, and build things our proprietary peers could not - we tend to see the relationship to corp $ in OSS as a net benefit, pretty much always.

@scottyweeks I felt this way until a friend introduced me to #HPMOR hpmor.com . It helps that the motivation was less about love of Harry Potter per se, and more a clever Trojan Horse for educational propaganda, but still.

I still see no reason at all why someone would actually *read* fanfic. Speaks to an extremely stunted sense of aesthetics.

Fanfic is a hobby. One that’s exploited by IP owners, of course, but it can also be a vocation. Tons of people ghostwrite for series books. Not the same thing as being an author or whatever you want to call it Don’t know enough about pedagogy to know if it’s a good way to learn.

@scottyweeks Hah fair enough, I was mostly being pithy but also admit I didn’t focus on the difference 🤣

@bglusman 250 words, not characters. A tweet length summary is called a log line and that’s also a useful exercise.

While drafting (and re-drafting) this novel I've also been drafting query letters. The wonky parts of the query work as a heuristic for story problems. The more difficult the query is to write, the less I understand my own book.

@scottyweeks Ok, novel in a tweet, interesting... yeah, sounds useful as an exercise

@bglusman They're what you send off to an agent when you're querying for representation. Usually a 250 word or less summary of your story. It's tough to reduce 100k words down to that and keep it snappy, if you can then you're usually on the right track

@chimeracoder The list made me wonder briefly if Mudge and Brandur were also @recursecenter alums, shame they don’t do fellowships anymore, might make easier to round out the list! 🤣

A friend of mine told me I was mentioned on Hacker News and sent me a link. I braced myself, but I was *not* prepared for this! 😲
