Tja, @MinPres Schoof bleef in zijn persconferentie keer op keer zeggen: “Er was en is geen sprake van racisme”. Bij mij kwam direct het beeld uit 2003 naar boven van Saddam Hussein’s woordvoerder; die de val van Bagdad keer op keer bleef ontkennen. 👇🏼

Dutch cabinet in the process of collapsing over (allegedly) racist attitudes towards Islam and they discuss it over Indonesian takeout. The writers at Veep couldn’t script it better.

Elect clowns, expect a circus. theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

Incredibly bullish on global south countries & emerging markets.

Still holding out for an Elixir developer in Northern Africa! I’m convinced they exist. We’re here with the @turn_io team in beautiful Marrakech. #myelixirstatus #elixirlang

Unimaginable bravery.

@josevalim My daughter really enjoyed hedycode.com after scratch

Any online courses/materials for a 10 year old who really wants to learn how to program? Either in english, polish, or portuguese? He already did a Scratch course and we are doing Lego SPIKE together on weekends. Maybe it is time for actually writing code? Suggestions?

Shout out to everyone fixing off by 1 errors introduced in tests in the past 6 months due to daylight savings changes!

Built a @turn_io maternal health demo. Here's the source application: gist.github.com/smn/082b557c8e… + RAG doc. UI generates the code & vice versa. One can break out of the visual env or go hybrid when it stops being useful. #myelixirstatus is powering life improving conversations.

Me and the @turn_io team will be in Marrakech, Morocco coming month. Any #elixirlang developers keen to chat? #myelixirstatus

Airplane wifi. Not sketchy at all.
