That's a good question. But I think mostly because the thing about JS frameworks is no longer true.

We should stop laughing at new JavaScript framework every week and start laughing more at new browser that reinvents the internet every week.

Hex does that, at least private packages part. Not sure how much they profit from it though.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

true friendship 🥹

A meme showing two hobbits from Lord of the Rings looking exhausted and dirt-covered, with text reading 'I can't carry your null pointers for you, but I can carry you to OCaml!' - a programming humor mashup of Sam's famous quote about carrying Frodo, replacing the Ring with null pointers and Mount Doom with the OCaml programming language.

Want to understand Event Sourcing? Try:

1. Write every FACT that happens in your system on sticky notes
2. Put them on a wall
3. Group related ones together

You'll have hundreds. That's your event model.

(this works great even if you DON'T use Event Sourcing)

Maybe. But I think the definition of "best for Ruby" differs very much for different people involved. And for some this definition seems to be quite narrow.

My favourite part is that is does not show more than ~20 files of changes. And if you have more, it suggest to turn the new UI off.

Wow, I remember we hosted a private gem repo at my first job and it was super complex and convoluted. Granted, it was almost 15 years ago. A lot of progress has been made to make things simpler.

that's me, especially this week

“So under 'hobbies' you have listed ‘programming'?”

“Yes!”

“But I also see it listed here under 'things you despise with all your being'”

“Yes that’s correct”

Companies with production app won't migrate to Hanami as much as they won't to a Rails fork. They often are not keen to even migrate to newer version of Rails. Same as with MariaDB - companies did not switch to it from MySQL for fun when the fork happened.

I hope some of these disaffected #Ruby folks will give #ElixirLang a fresh look

So many Elixir developers come from Rails including Elixir's creator José Valim

The ecosystem is growing, it's inclusive (me <- 🏳️‍⚧️), and we could 100% use your energy and your devotion to developer happiness

Introducing agent-shell.

A single consistent experience, powered by the agent of your choice.

xenodium.com/introducing-...

#emacs #claude #anthropic #ai #google #gemini #linux #github #macos #oss #foss

This Emacs window is split vertically into two panels.

Left: Shows a shell for "Gemini" with the word GEMINI in large, pixel-style ASCII art. Below, it welcomes the user, describes available shell features, and displays a question about commit activity. It shows command outputs, steps of execution, and a list of recent commit messages.
Right: Shows a shell for "Claude Code" with the words CLAUDE CODE in large, orange ASCII art. Below, similar info is shown: welcome text, feature list, a question about commit activity, and corresponding commands. It also provides examples of available CLI commands and a permission prompt.
Both sides have a dark background with colored highlights for clarity.

I think this is what irritates me the most about this whole situation: waving the security flag. And, unfortunately, you can see so many people fall for it. There are multiple comments in the spirit of "yeah, what they did sucks, but it was for security, so we need to let this one slide".

I haven't really thought about this, but I have been writing Gleam too in past months, so maybe it's also Gleam-flavoured approach ;)

Fey will likely include a set of helpers to handle Repo interactions (github.com/katafrakt/fe...). Although I'm not sure I get the "used incorrectly" statement and how your way is more "proper".

I try to avoid things named "utils", so personally I would put it in `lib/result.ex`, but ultimately it does not matter that much. In this case it's a separate Hex package, so you can just pull it as a dependency.

And no need to apologize for asking questions ;)
