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

So there seems to be a lot of cursor unhappiness these days, and that inspired me to check out Roo Code based on a recommendation. Its an OS VSCode extension (BYOM api key). Brief experiments with claude 4 doing work on a phoenix app went well, FWIW. Gonna keep digging in: roocode.com

Roo Code – Your AI-Powered Dev Team in VS Code

Roo Code puts an entire AI dev team right in your editor, outpacing closed tools with deep project-wide context, multi-step agentic coding, and unmatched developer-centric flexibility.

Thank you to all who weathered the [literal] storm last week for @superchris.launchscout.com talk about helping teams adopt AI. What we liked best was that it felt like a true meetup. It ended with everyone sitting down, chairs turned toward the center, honestly sharing and listening to each other.

I'd be pretty interested in this. Anywhere I can go to dig in further?

Really surprised no one thought to name their LLM Mr. MeSeeks. Seems like a missed branding opportunity.

I wrote this a while back for @teamlaunchscout.bsky.social -- "How to Support the Elixir Development Community" launchscout.com/blog/support...

It remains pretty useful, though I know some of the details have since shifted.

I'm really grateful to and fond of the #elixirlang community

Refactoring code (AI generated or human generated) after a good night's sleep is so much better than doing it at after the end of a long day

Due to the AI revolution, we programmers may write less code ourselves, but we still have to read it if we want to be responsible. Choosing a human friendly and readable programming language is still important. That's why I am betting on Elixir and Phoenix #MyElixirStatus
