Last Elixir Ruhr meetup of 2026 set. Looking forward to seeing you there - Newcomers are very welcome!

Elixir Ruhr@elixir-ruhr.dev · 3d ago

Our last Elixir Ruhr meetup of 2026 is set: On November 26, 6:30 pm, Christian Geuer-Pollmann will talk about frugal networking with Elixir. Afterwards there’s time to socialize, with drinks, pizza and, probably, mulled wine. Please RSVP here: www.meetup.com/elixir-ruhr-...

Our conference report has been written. It is insufficient. Please tell us your favorite parts of whatever this was. underjord.io/goatmire-2-o... We struggle to find enough words. #goatmire #elixirlang

Goatmire 2 - Odin's Folly

The horns sound out in the theater. Resonant in a space that predates amplifiers. The drum strikes deeply. I enter the stage in the mist of the smoke machine and green light. I can't see the audience…

Joint meetup with the Elixir Cologne group, Phoenix flavored talk about accessibility, and barbecue at the rooftop. Excited about a very special #elixir meetup!

Fourth Elixir Ruhr Meetup, and our first together with the Elixir Cologne Meetup. Barbecue on the @9elements.com rooftop terrace if the weather allows. Ariadne Engelbrecht is talking about accessibility as a real quality attribute, through a Phoenix/LiveView lens. www.meetup.com/elixir-ruhr-...

After not being able to attend last year, I'm really excited to be at Ash summit in 2026. If you are at Goatmire, think about staying a day longer!

Thank you, this means a lot to us. Elixir has been steadily becoming a bigger part of what we do at 9elements, and that growth has been shaped by the openness and warmth of the BEAM community. We are glad we can support this awesome community by sponsoring Code BEAM Europe!

Our team built the app backend for a major German sports club, and it was one of the most exciting projects to come out of @9elements.com. Can't wait to listen to @nickidee.bsky.social's talk to get some insight on how they handled scalability and performance.

Working on a small example app for my upcoming @elixir-ruhr.dev talk about @ash-hq.org. Really impressed how easily Ash AI integrates complex LangChain tool calls with just a few lines of code!

The question isn’t if you’ll join, but where. 💎 Find your GEM: globalelixirmeetups.com

Really looking forward to our first Elixir Ruhr Meetup! I'll be giving an introduction to @ash-hq.org & Ash AI. Been having lots of fun with it lately and can't wait to share. Excited for good conversations and a great evening with the community. #elixirlang #myelixirstatus

We are looking for an #elixirlang / #rubylang lead developer in Bochum / the Ruhr area. If you love building great software instead of managing bullshit tickets, know how to work with clients and how to make sure your team grows, let's chat!

As AI redefines software development, this post by @ichimnetz.com stands out; tracing how automation shifts value from craft to concept, from 19th-century painting to today’s programming. Appreciate he draws thoughtful parallels without pretending to predict where it all leads.

There was a time when anyone could be an artist 👨‍🎨 — if they loved the work enough. Then came the professionals. Then came the camera. Today, it’s not paint that’s being replaced. It’s code. 9elements.com/blog/when-sk...

#ElixirConf 2025 was absolutely wonderful. First one since 2017, and the community is still just as great, lovely, and open. Tons of inspiring talks and conversations, can’t wait to try Ash AI! See you at the next one, hopefully not in another 7 years.

So excited for the upcoming @elixirconf.bsky.social in Krakow - Can’t wait for all the amazing talks and to meet more awesome folks in the #elixirlang community!

If you need your LLM to follow instructions better, try GPT-4.1. I’m building a chatbot with more complex behavior and struggled to get 4o to follow instructions properly. Switching to 4.1 fixed it, even without gimmicky styles to signal what's important.

This morning, I talked with my daughter about weekdays - specifically, what day it will be after a given number of days. I explained that adding multiples of seven doesn’t change the weekday, only the remainder matters. Not the easiest concept for a four-year-old.

Yesterday, I released a tiny MCP server that allows Cursor Editor to get up-to-date version information for external Hex dependencies. Someone suggested doing a version for #RubyOnRails, so I built a more generic version that supports Ruby Gems, Hex, PyPI, and NPM. dep-mcp.9elements.com

Package Version MCP Server - For AI Tools

Help AI tools like Cursor to automatically use the correct package versions when adding dependencies to your projects. Supports Hex, RubyGems, and NPM packages.
