LLMs can make you produce more code faster, but is that actually a good thing? Maybe your product is good because of the features that you choose not to build. jola.dev/posts/limite...

Limited output is a feature

Great startups don't win because they write more code, they win because they think differently.

annot.at is now a lot more user friendly! After registering a site and pulling the feed, you can now see which blog posts are published to @standard.site, which ones aren't, and you can republish! Publishing includes OG image, text content, HTML content, and metadata like tags!

I wish I came with effort levels

Writing this atproto OAuth library for #ElixirLang is the most fun I've had coding in a long time. If you have a moment to take a look any feedback would be very appreciated! Tangled: tangled.org/jola.dev/latch Github: github.com/joladev/latch

LLMs are tools we use and we are accountable for the things we use them for, just like any other tool jola.dev/posts/a-comp...

A computer can never be held accountable

For better or for worse the things you create with LLMs are your responsibility, just like with any other tool.

@marque.at two of my domains became unresolveable, one is ok now and the other is still gone: cove.town ps your status page link goes to status.margin.at which also seems to be down?

My Elixir atproto OAuth library now has a built-in ETS Store for sessions and requests, cutting down the number of lines to use it to almost nothing. It's starting to look not half bad! blog.annot.at/latch-an-idi...

LLMs can write in any language, which could be a reason for more diversity in language choice. But code as a commodity also takes away the traditional reasons for choosing a less common language. What does that mean for beating the averages?

I would say this is a helpful way to describe atproto for anyone who has ever participated in a system design interview for a software engineering job atproto.com/articles/atp...

Atproto for distributed systems engineers - AT Protocol

AT Protocol is the tech developed at Bluesky for open social networking. In this article we're going to explore atproto from the perspective of distributed backend engineering.

Wow, Kimi subscriptions sold out, Umans subscriptions sold out. There's a market for open models.

I see very worrying US companies executives declarations depicting open weight models as a risk. How much sold to the most furious capitalistic vision you need to be, to really believe it is better that a few companies control AI for all the world? They said the same for OSS.

I've been bumping into some rough edges recently with Elixir dependencies that use app config and start their own supervision trees and I want to petition the community to move towards better library design #ElixirLang jola.dev/posts/let-li...

Let libraries be libraries

A gentle rant on the topic of libraries that run as Elixir applications and why that's an anti-pattern for library design.

man i just can’t with the claude-written announcements. you made an interesting thing, why not describe it in your own words? “but here’s the biggest unlock, and it’s the part that’s hardest to see” i already read this all day

I think we all have experiences like this but we rarely share them. ps agreed Christine Wong at Fresha is great!
