A lovely gathering of #ElixirLang devs in Chattanooga as part of the Global Elixir Meetup week! We ate and chatted about Elixir, Ham radios, best bike trails, repair projects and in general strengthened our community ties.

Check out all the other ones here - globalelixirmeetups.com

I enjoyed reading about Goatmire this morning. It was an Elixir event in Sweden put on by @lawik.bsky.social. Many PragProg authors were there. What fun! This is how you build a dev community. underjord.io/confere... And my gods, the outfits--love it.

24 hours from next Chewy delivery, so I prepared homemade cat food. Recipe: wild-caught Alaskan coho salmon, olive oil, and sweet potatos, lightly cooked (3 min) in the hot pot, and then pureed to the fine pate consistency. Reception? "What is this garbage, lady?" Love Love, Pearl, & Bean.
