At #CodeBEAM America 2021, @lebugcatcher showed us how he is using #Elixir to build a tool to help him write a well-tested and deterministic Elixir book. Wanna learn all the tips and tricks?! Watch the video 👇 youtu.be/myxH2MXEEIc

@gregburd Sorry to hear this. This is very disappointing!

When I joined BlockFi it was the height of COVID layoffs, but crypto banking was taking off so they were hiring talent impacted by that shake up. Now there is opportunity for other companies seeking good folks from crypto carnage. Here's their blog post. blockfi.com/a-message-from…

20% layoffs @BlockFi this morning. After 2 years, I'm out.

@atyborska93 It sounds extremely hard. Good luck!👍

@redrapids Empathy, Sincerity and being a good listener!

#programmers, how can you be a better mentor?

@redrapids Breaking down and analyzing things, and explaining it others!

What's a non- #programmer hobby that makes you a better programmer?

If anyone wants to learn a little about Metaprogramming in Elixir and more importantly, watch me embarrass myself doing some live metaprogramming, check this out! #Elixir

Finished recording another fun @elixir_mix episode on Code quality tools with @wolf4earth @allenwyma . We covered credo, dialyzer, coveralls (and minimum code coverage), formatter and types of testing! riverside.fm/shared/snapsho… #RiversideFM

Just recorded a fun @elixir_mix panelist episode with @wolf4earth and @allenwyma on umbrella projects in Elixir. It will be out sometime next week! riverside.fm/shared/snapsho… #ElixirMix

@wilton_quinn I had no idea! Thanks for sharing this. We'll make it a point to minimize the use of Cowboy at my work going forward.

Recorded an awesome Elixir Mix episode about Pattern Matching with @wolf4earth, Allen Wyma and @alexburlacu1996 riverside.fm/shared/snapsho… #Elixirlang

Just finished recording a fun @elixir_mix episode with @wolf4earth, @alfredbaudisch and Eric Bolikowski about github.com/alfredbaudisch…..🎉🎊 riverside.fm/shared/snapsho… #RiversideFM #elixirlang #ElixirMix

So.. I just realized I made the early praise section of the "Testing Elixir" book.. I still stand by every word of it. It's a must read for any engineer who wants to level up their Elixir skills! #ElixirLang #TestingElixir #myelixirstatus

Just reported a bug in hex.pm, and it took them a few minutes to respond, fix and deploy.. on a Saturday!! Huge kudos to @emjii! There is a reason why we love the Elixir community so much.💙 #ElixirLang #HexPM #myelixirstatus

@swissbeats93 Working on it. Hoping it will be ready by mid-December. 🤞

@lebugcatcher Are we going to see a pre-release soon?

Spent my weekend writing tests for code which tests the tool which helps me test the code in my upcoming book. 😅 #TDD

@whatyouhide This is epic! Will definitely be using it

I’m super happy that Community (where I work) is contributing more and more resources towards the Elixir ecosystem. We just released a new version of protobuf-elixir (github.com/elixir-protobu…) with lots of goodies! More info in thread 🧵

In three weeks I will be speaking at #CodeBEAM America, a virtual conference for #Erlang and #Elixirlang developers! Here's a 20% discount code, if you're interested: FRIENDofMINEcba21 #tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">codesync.global/conferences/co…

@redrapids Low cost of failure. This generally translates to good observability with clearly defined SLOs and notifications, and with an andon-cord like tool to stop and rollback to a stable release.

Programmers, in your experience, what are the biggest contributing factors to a reliable service?

@redrapids In my experience, an interface should be clearly separated from the implementation, idiomatic, introspective (so it can be tested/debugged without touching the implementation), flexible (as needed), and open to change.

What makes a good interface?

@redrapids Building tools/processes that help other engineers be more productive, and the final product more reliable. Ex: improving test coverage, making front-end - back-end interactions more deterministic, adding DSLs to complex implementations etc.

What gives you joy in your programming job? Bonus question: what can you do to get more of it?
