AI adds randomness to the development loop. #ElixirLang pushes back with predictable functions, isolated processes, consistent shapes, and runtime metadata the model can stand on. grox.io/blog/43-why-elixir-is-built-for-ai-assisted-development

Woohooo!! So grateful for Kate Barr, the YALLVote folks and the Can’t Win Victory Fund!

250 to 250@250to250.bsky.social · last wk.

Kate Barr and her Can’t Win campaigns exposed gerrymandering; now YALLvote and the Can’t Win Victory Fund support down ballot candidates fighting rigged maps across the South. Barr celebrates Betty Ford, the outspoken First Lady who transformed the role to fit her own voice. #WeAreAmerica250

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”

Ok wise ones, tell me how you took the keys away from an aging parent.

Just jumped out of my skin at a crack of thunder nearby. Bright sunshine outside…. But evidently a storm is coming.

The codebase is no longer the scarce asset. Judgment is, and judgment lives in people. @redrapids.bsky.social on the structural moves that turn juniors into the seniors you will need later. grox.io/blog/32-how-juniors-become-seniors #ElixirLang

Covid vaccination cut risk of adverse heart events, large study finds www.statnews.com/2026/06/15/c... via @statnews.com "Vaccine may be cardioprotective..." Ignore the fearmongering lies. #VaccinesWork.

Seriously @sasajuric.bsky.social - it’s now the question for every thing - driving in traffic, swampy summer humidity, credit card statements, news…. And it makes me laugh, which makes all of it better.

AI tools improved faster than our ability to use them well. We treated the conditions that made it work as the new baseline, and organized our optimism, our staffing, and our planning around that assumption. That was wrong. grox.io/blog/30-how-better-tools-can-make-things-worse #ElixirLang

Teams keep treating the junior problem as talent. Bruce's argument is harsher: the work moved up the stack, agents took the basics, and we kept teaching for the old job. That is a training failure, not a hiring one. grox.io/blog/31-the-trainable-things

A not too hot and not rainy early morning with the doggo. Happy Tuesday friends!

Pete Buttigieg is a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a veteran, and the 19th U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Buttigieg tells us about the Erie Canal, the engineering marvel that opened up the interior of the United States. #WeAreAmerica250

Week One in 250 to 250

This was the first week of videos from the 250 to 250 Project that we’re producing to honor the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

This is the shape: velocity up, judgment thin, juniors stuck, seniors flinching, dashboards counting the wrong thing. @redrapids.bsky.social names it, and names the pact every team has to make before the next sprint spends the dividend. grox.io/blog/28-the-sludge-on-the-wall #ElixirLang

As my favorite former meteorologist use to say - this was a “goat floater” of a rainstorm.

We have started to use our basement apartment as an airbnb. I love how Bruce refers to our guest as “our friend.”

I just saw fireflies in my yard for the first time in 2026. I love those little creatures.

The emptiest international flight I’ve ever been on! Heading back to the States….
