If you enjoy philosophy, science, and atheism — especially when they are all jumbled together — this Alex O'Conner and Hank Green discussion is a listen that I really enjoyed: youtube.com/watch?v=EgLbYh…

This is the best video I've seen for putting LLM's in historical context: youtube.com/watch?v=0qnZDM…

If you want to work with Bruce Tate, Paulo Valim, and/or myself, we have some contract availability: groxio.com We excel at designing and building Elixir, OTP, Phoenix, and LiveView systems. We also train teams in how we do it. Get in touch!

@marcio_lopes Paulo is a great guy. I am lucky to get to work with him. He's teaching me new tricks.

@JEG2 Wow nice to know that you are working with Paulo. He used to be a science communicator with great pedagogy. I was surprised when I discovered that he was Jose’s brother.

The Groxio team—Bruce Tate, Paulo Valim, and myself—are fresh off of a project where we helped scale an application and its development team all the way to launch. If your company could use help from one or more of us, let’s talk! groxio.com

You’re going to want to read about why that @jeg2's button is red and how that choice avoided a lot of speculative coding. therealadam.com/2025/08/15/how…

@germsvel I've learned a ton from you.

@JEG2 Haven’t read this one yet (but I read the others in the series). I’m honored to be mentioned!

I'm closing out, for now, my series on questions at the heart of development with an analysis of when we need more abstraction. For example, taking @germsvel's advice about architecting more accurate models can reduce future bugs. programmersstone.blog/posts/why-is-t… #MyElixirStatus

This talk by Giovanni Francischelli on handling #LiveView reconnects is a great blend of fun and educational! youtube.com/watch?v=AnbWty… #MyElixirStatus

In this third article of my questions series, I'm coming for your dependencies! I do my best to add a fifth cost to @martinfowler's costs of YAGNI. You can also find out what my favorite programming book is. programmersstone.blog/posts/what-wil… #TechDebt #YAGNI #dependencies
