@bcardarella @yordisprieto Definitely. Having been active in other communities, it is disappointing how few people will contribute compared to number of filks asking for (and at times demanding) changes and support.

@yordisprieto I've more or less came around to the same conclusion. I'm sad about it because I've been such a huge advocate for OSS but there is something off in the Elixir community. It is way too many takers, not enough givers. It's a big problem.

#MyElixirStatus After nearly a decade of free and open-source work in the Elixir ecosystem, only once—maybe twice—has an Elixir shop actually valued my open-source contributions. Instead, I’m asked to build tic-tac-toe LeetCode or complete take-home assessments on Phoenix, Ecto, Oban, and, to top it off, basic HTTP calls (for fuck’s sake). Meanwhile, I’ve effectively maintain or contribute to Guardian, Tesla, Ueberauth, OTEL, Ecto, ExDoc and many other packages (far too many to be honest). I spent countless hours helping in Slack. Because those Elixir companies didn’t support me when I needed it, here’s the bottom line is the following. I’ll support FOSS on my terms. Either have your company compensate me for my time. Or, better yet, change your hiring practices and publicly commit to it. Otherwise, fix it yourself, or fork it and maintain it yourself. Enough is enough! I will contribute to open source out of love, but I am not gonna forget neither.

@kodingwarrior We used Elixir + Lua to build an event driven billing system which enabled analysts to write complex billing and pricing logic in Lua with the aid of LLMs, no engineering resources required! It works beautifully at scale.

아니 이게 대체 뭐야 ㅋㅋㅋ 엘릭서에서 루아를 끌어다쓴다고? ㅋㅋㅋ

It's time for a new Elixir School lesson! 🥳Learn how to leverage Lua within your Elixir application to provide unmatched extensibility and safe user code execution all within the BEAM 🎉 elixirschool.com/en/lessons/mis… #Elixirlang #WeBeamTogether #MyElixirStatus #LearnGrowDiscover

So... my contract gigs will end in a few days. I’m now looking for a job! 🤓 - Principal engineer, backend/systems/arch focus - Fully remote, flexible hours (hard to find ppl in the same tz), pref async work - @elixirlang is def my strength, but I just love doing stuff

👀 github.com/tv-labs/lua/pu…

I'm excited to announce an alpha release of an @elixirlang interface to Luerl, ergonomically called Lua. We've used it in production for over 6 months to power our internal and external scripting. Feedback and PRs are welcome! github.com/tv-labs/lua #myelixirstatus

After nearly 2 decades of the same avatar I am beyond excited to unveil the new Doomspork thanks to my buddy Jimmy over at frothyrhino.com

@yburyug @peregrine How often you getting blood drawn and having the results shared with your insurer?

@peregrine They offer a virtual program to quit I could easily lie about doing and save $900 but I’m not trying to lie to an employer with more resources than god compared to me lol

my health insurance is gonna start charging me $18.75 a week for being a nicotine user in 2023. lol ugh

A reminder that many of the great ideas that just made their way to LiveView, including if/for expressions, heex formatter, live storybook, etc all originated as working ideas in @SurfaceUi As much as im excited about the new LV, @MarlusSaraiva deserves more credit

@davydog187 We use this on a few projects

I was looking at github.com/open-api-spex/… which seems to be active. Not sure how I feel about the DSL though

Anyone have recommendations for OpenAPI / Swagger integration with @elixirphoenix? There's a few libraries out there, curious what the community likes

@adolfont @wojtekmach @ElixirKenya We're using Req here at work and it's been a great value add!

Req: A batteries included HTTP client for Elixir @wojtekmach @ElixirKenya #MyElixirStatus youtu.be/NxWgvHRN6mI

It's been fun having a chance to collaborate with @davydog187, @akoutmos, and @nerdy_btkostner! Super smart bunch of folks who know more about #ElixirLang than I knew was possible 🤯 and very welcoming 🙏 Definitely encourage folks to get involved!

@itsaydrian @nerdy_btkostner I need to dramatically overhaul elixir-companies.com to be more aesthetically pleasing and require less work day-to-day (approving content). When I find time for that we should talk, that could be a great opportunity to team up! @yburyug you should help!

@doomspork @nerdy_btkostner Okay. Just curious how many are affected by that part as well. We are working on a small post to show how you could migrate to our free Serverless offering which is much more generous than that add-on.

Really appreciate your help @nerdy_btkostner!

@itsaydrian @nerdy_btkostner Not for this application but I have to move elixir-companies.com next and that does use it.

@doomspork @nerdy_btkostner Were y'all using the postgres add-on by any chance?

@davydog187 @nerdy_btkostner @sb_engineers Thanks for sharing this! I watched the video but I'd love to pick your brain some more on this just to get a different take. I'm more of a Protobuf fan myself but we've been working with Avro recently.

@doomspork @nerdy_btkostner Yes to all the above, but with @sb_engineers. Touched on it slight in youtu.be/uT6EbezP12s but happy to chat with you more

Are you using Avro or Protobuf in your Elixir services? Are you using them with systems like Kafka, Rabbit, or others? Curious to hear thoughts from others on how they arrived at one versus the other. #MyElixirStatus #opensource

Happy to contribute! Really appreciate all of your help this last year with other open source projects, least I can do is give back while I have time! #MyElixirStatus #WeBEAMTogether
