"If these tools are so good, where's all the magic software?" I see more bugs now, in software that was rock solid before. The uncomfortable question: when does that hit something load-bearing? Has it already?

📭 New Blog Post 📬 I wrote a tiny piece about how to store your SSH keys more securely. In times of distribution attacks like Shai-Hulud, it's easy to install malware on your computer that extracts your private SSH keys. Don't let them. peterullrich.com/store-ssh-ke...

Store your SSH keys in a Password Manager

Your SSH keys are sitting in ~/.ssh as plain text exactly where malware looks first. Move them to a password manager instead.

I like how @mariozechner.at and @mitsuhiko.at are at the forefront of using AI & at the same time not bullshitting 🙌 Worth listening.

OpenClaw was built on top of Pi, a minimalist, self-modifying agent. I sat down with Pi's creator, Mario Zechner, and longtime Pi user Armin Ronacher to talk on the "why" of Pi, their grounded takes on building with AI, why we should probably slow down, as an industry, and more. (cont'd)

Third episode of our podcast is out. We talk about how we end up working more with agents, and what it does to our brain. And of course, complain about the missing sun in Vienna ☀. walkingdevs.com/002-agent-fa...

In this episode, we cover the impact of AI on the developer community, work-life balance and AI burnout, concerns about job security, exhaustion and context switching in development, and touch on the ...

Anyone experience with Rustler/NIF not free-ing up memory ? Is there any way around it or is the solution just to use Ports? #ElixirLang

While we like to complain about the Frontend ecosystem constantly changing. At least they have one language. Backend has the problem of language diversity.

I spent a good chunk of 2025 building side projects no one asked for. And I loved it! 🦥 nicolasdular.com/blog/2025/11...

The job of a programmer is to manage exactly two things: uncertainty and complexity. Code is sometimes an asset and sometimes a liability, but itself has no meaning outside the context of those two factors.

So far I ignored all these clickbait "prompt engineering" guides. Works grat. Telling the LLM what to do is all you need.

Months of work went into this and I finally saw it live in production. From queries that used to take 15+ seconds (and timed out) to just ~10-30ms 🚀 More details in the design doc: handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/eng...

Now that Strava has launched a similar feature, I'm ready to show you the project I've been working on this year: easyhard.carbonative.com It will help you to obey the 80/20 rule in running: 80% of your runs should be easy, 20% hard.

Track your running intensity and master the 80/20 rule. Train smarter with data-driven insights into your easy vs. hard efforts.

I am building a small application with #ElixirLang and Codex. Process is pretty much: - Let Codex run with my prompt - Look at generated code - Delete 50% of the code It's okay-ish at writing tests, which is nice. Especially since IMO Elixir tests are too verbose compared to RSpec.

Looked more into @ash-hq.org now. A few thoughts - Not completely sold on the declarative style. - It's fast to prototype stuff. - LLMs are doing surprisingly ok. - Having types end to end is a game changer.

Ruby community reaches JavaScript community drama level.

I looked into Node/Typescript ecosystem for a Fullstack framework last week. Quality on the backend is just too far off from what I see in Rails/Phoenix. My biggest requirement is: full typing between backend to frontend. Now looking into @ash-hq.org 👀

I am looking into the NodeJS ecosystem. A bit shocked about the state of ORMs. Maybe it's what I needed to appreciate ActiveRecord 😂

After being a drummer all my life, it still blows my mind that I can take my Trombone WITH ME. Disassemble. Put it in the case. Go Just like that 🤯

What are good open source Elixir/Phoenix codebases to look into? I already looked into @changelog.com and like that they're cutting out context completely.

Our GitHub repository is now public! github.com/elixir-lang/...

"What do you hate about ActiveRecord?" That interview would definitely go over time.

@nateberkopec.bsky.social · last yr.

With LLMs making leetcode and other whiteboard problems trivial, software hiring IMO should shift towards establishing taste, which LLMs absolutely do not have. "What do you hate about ActiveRecord? What would you change about Rails if you could?" Review this PR, etc.
