We recently moved to an OpenCollective for @ash-hq.org, and I'm happy to announce that we've successfully had our first feature PR merged as a result of offering a bounty! You can now paginate included relationships in AshJsonApi 🎉 Shout to to @sriky27.bsky.social! Great work 😎

Recently, @gleam.run was crowned the '2nd most desired language' in the SO Developer Survey (just behind #rustlang). ✨

So, I made this #animation to say congratulations (and to practice making these - it's my biggest animation yet)! 😊

We need a way to validate approaches to how we work with LLMs to write code, and we need to start developing the dataset. I've laid some groundwork here, but I need help. Tear it up, critique it, but most of all, PR some evals y'all.

Alberto Fortin went all-in on AI for a major infrastructure rebuild. Six months later: working system, complete architectural nightmare. He'll share what went wrong, how he found balance, and whether Claude Opus 4 could've avoided the mess.

The cool thing about open source is that one can fix issues that one's passionate about. For example, Emmet expansions not working with @elixir-lang.org when using @zed.dev
