1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate? 2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations? 3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision. 4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work? 5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?

I talk to a lot of startups building security tools for AI agents, and my advice to all of them is, treat AI agents like malware. Even if agents provide a lot of value to those who use them, agents are a security nightmare to those who have to secure them.

The world of computing is and will remain far larger, more impactful, and far more vibrant than the narrow subdomain of genAI.

Erlang has this magical feature called hot code updates. You update the running system. So we can do that in Elixir too. And most say that they don't use when in fact they probably do. I wrote a brief post on how I usually use it and how it is commonly used: https://buff.ly/4hXFgFq #elixir #erlang

How I use Erlang Hot Code Updates

One of the Erlang ecosystem's spiciest nerd snipes are hot code updates. Because it can do it. In ways that almost no other runtime can. I use Elixir which builds on Erlang and has the same…
