Chris Nelson

@superchris is back from Wasm I/O in Barcelona, Spain! It was a fantastic experience, and while it was a conference trip, there was still time to take in the sights. We hope attendees enjoyed "Supervising your WebAssembly Components with Wasmex" while they were there.

In this January 2025 edition of @cincinnatirb, @superchris takes an informal look at the intersection of @webassembly, #Ruby, and the ruby.wasm project, compiling ruby into #webassembly, and wasmtime-rb, which lets you call webassembly code in from ruby. youtu.be/y6yNi0Je2tE?si…

Haven't been over here for a minute, but just stopped by to share my son's music video. I know I am biased and all, but it really is very good: youtube.com/watch?v=mVaoi_…

Join us virtually next Wednesday as Alex Nahas teaches us about Local first with VitePWA and Dexiejs! meetup.com/cincinnati-jav…

I know we are not a swing state (Ohio) but that doesn't mean we don't get to vote to save democracy. Vote yes on issue 1 yall! For the love of God and all that is holy, take politicians out of redistricting

I've been working on big @elixirlang projects (two $1B+ companies), and not once have I ever felt pain around ecosystem. AI is really good at writing it. I've also been hiring a lot of devs recently and have found many excellent @elixirlang devs (or really good devs willing to learn it). There is zero reason not to use @elixirlang. It's irresponsible not to.

Join us next Monday 10/21 at 4:00pm EDT for the next Elixir Healthcare meetup. Our speaker, Seth Falcon, will present "Lessons from our first Customer". RSVP at meetup.com/elixir-healthc…

Excited to speaking at the Denver Elixir meetup on Monday: meetup.com/denver-erlang-…

seeing a lot of posts heralding the death of junior devs yeah, OK, so where to people think senior devs come from?

@jskalc Yeah, i might still occasionally use a "real debugger" if it was easily available I just got used to doing without. In any event FWIW it doesn't bother me anymore. YMMV

@superchris Well yes, true. Just as I'm working with Ecto often these debug statements contains lots of noise. Like nested structs or internal metadata. Not a big issue ofc, just slightly annoying...

I wish Elixir had better debugging tooling... so far my experience was terrible😢 Because of that I still mostly use dbg() statements 😭 For context, I'm coming from Python & PyCharm background with amazing debuggers. What's your take? #myelixirstatus

44 days. That’s all the time we have left until Election Day. @KamalaHarris has the vision, strength, and compassion to lead this country forward. Make your voice heard—make a plan to vote early, vote by mail, or head to the polls. go.kamalaharris.com

@wtsnz @bcardarella @pepicrft Hey I think it would be easy to build this, I just don't have any Swift/IOS chops. Is this something you'd wanna collaborate on? If so shoot me a DM and we'll find a time

@bcardarella @pepicrft @superchris That would be really interesting for myself too. I've been writing iOS stuff for a long time and have recently found myself enamoured by Elixir and the BEAM and wanting to find a way to work with it.

@ellie_huxtable The water is quite lovely. And Rustler is pretty nifty (pun intended) if you need to bring over you favorite oxidized iron goodness

I'm dipping into Elixir/Phoenix once more! This ecosystem is so nice for building web thingies really quickly I love Rust but sometimes I want more batteries included y'know?

If anybody is at a VC funded startup using @elixirlang I'd like to chat, DMs are open. #myelixirstatus

I feel like @HAXTheWeb just showed me the future I hoped we'd get to in like 10 years. :head_asplode:

Why haven't I heard of haxtheweb.org before?? Seems like amazing work so far.

If you've worked in @elixirlang & left it or your company has resisted adopting it I'd like to chat with you on why. I'm collecting data on this topic in private chats, provided I can use the data points without divulging company/people names. DMs are open. #myelixirstatus
