Just launched my 3rd SaaS using Elixir/Phoenix, sharing some random thoughts: reddit.com/r/elixir/comme… #elixirlang #buildinpublic It's a browser extension to decode food labels on any websites for healthy eating. 👉 FeedBun.com

If anyone's looking for an #Elixir or #Ruby dev, or a tech leader like CTO, I'm available for remote work or hybrid in Melbourne Australia. My GitHub: GitHub.com/fredwu My CV: persumi.com/u/fredwu/cv

Recently started working on a new freelancing project using Rails. Opened up a view file and discovered that the project is using Slim - a templating language I helped build from many moons ago. 😅The nostalgia!

@lvjian700 Happy birthday! 🎂

38岁生日，儿子选的 🎂 ，媳妇选的 🍷，我去买了4个 🍲。 吃吃喝喝，简简单单。 站在 38岁，我想对年轻我的说： 🏀18 岁的我：你的目标一定能够实现。 👶28 岁的我：你畅享的生活不错。

@solnic_dev Congrats mate, well deserved! Looking forward to more of your wonderful OSS contributions.

Final job hunt update: it was one of the longest three months of my life but I got a gig! All I can say for now is: Elixir & OSS! 😎 I really want to thank y'all for your support, reposts, likes, DMs, emails and so on. This was very helpful and I'm grateful ❤️

Rizz.farm has just had a stealth capability upgrade. 🎉 For those who may have missed the news from Anthropic: anthropic.com/news/claude-3-…

@lvjian700 Congrats!

入职大礼包已在路上了。

Woot! Elixir v1.17 is out, bringing you the first warnings and type checking based on our on-going work to perform type inference from patterns (and soon guards). A lot more to come, hopefully: elixir-lang.org/blog/2024/06/1…

✨ BIG THINGS ARE COMING! We're putting the finishing touches on: - Persistent Notifications Management - Admin Dashboard with Graphs/Stats - Admin can see Current Users (using Phoenix Presence) ...and other exciting developments for the next version of Petal Pro. Stay tuned ✌️

I jotted down some quick thoughts on the three versions of The Three Body Problems (novel, Tencent & Netflix), from a native Mandarin speaker's point of view: persumi.com/u/fredwu/p/thr…

Today Elixir turns 12 years old! 🎉🥳 Let's celebrate with Elixir v1.17-rc, which includes our initial work on set-theoretic types, a brand new duration data type, and support for Erlang/OTP 27. Want to give Elixir a gift? Give it a star on GitHub! github.com/elixir-lang/el…

🎉 Official Figma Petal UI kit released! This kit includes all the open source and pro components you need to design your app in Figma. #elixirlang #myelixirstatus #uikit #petaluikit

I'm hoping I can eventually extract and open source this, but I've been working on some cool agentic AI agent workflow stuff for a client project (in Elixir). #MyElixirStatus

@codestirring Oh noes! Could you try resetting your password? rizz.farm/auth/reset-pas… If this still doesn't work I'll manually reset your account. Sorry about that, I'll look into what had happened, thanks for reporting the issue!

@fredwu Thought I'd let you know that sign up for rizz.farm is broken. I just signed up using an email and I got a toast saying internet lost (LiveView app? 😉) but I got the pin and nowhere to use it. But trying to register without a pin and email is taken...

👏💜

A friend asked me for some good Elixir/Phoenix sample apps. So I googled and found a reddit post with someone recommending a list of projects "for good Elixir code / library code". And discovered that two of them are my libraries. 😂 #MyElixirStatus

@hugobarauna @PetalFramework Thanks! The basic landing page structure was derived from @PetalFramework , otherwise it's just me experimenting with the messaging and seeking for feedback from those who I've shown the landing page to before launching.

@fredwu @PetalFramework I mean, the idea of the structure.

Considering doing a meetup talk or two on how I built Persumi.com in three months and Rizz.farm in six weeks, in my spare time, using Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView, with @PetalFramework and AI. Now just need to find time to jot down some notes. #MyElixirStatus

@solnic29a @mspanc @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr Hey, a big fan of your work (in both Ruby and now Elixir), but I'm not sure I agree with this. After spending a decade on Ruby, and half a decade now on Elixir, I really grew to like the explicitness. It's actually simpler without too much magic imo. :)

@mspanc @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr This would seriously speed up development in the early stages of every project. Inferring schemas and managing canonical schema mappings automatically would be another boost in productivity. I would love to contribute such functionality one day 🙂 (2/2)

Maybe ironically I think this is what holds Elixir back as a language. Because you're so productive, engineering teams are smaller and there are fewer jobs. Entrepreneurship/new companies is the limiting factor to Elixir growth
