This post inspired me to write a Typst-based alternative to @derrickreimer.com's OG-Image that you can deploy together with your Phoenix app.

So, introducing: OGI!

How to listen to database changes through the Postgres WAL!

This is all @filipecabaco.com's fault who nerd-sniped me into low-level Postgres details!

For the past few months I've been working on a new web server in Gleam called ewe 🐑. To summarize my development path to the v1 release, I decided to write a blog post about it.

- Parallel builds of GIN indexes
- Improved vacuum strategy
- Many optimizer improvements
- Native UUIDv7 data type

At dashbit.co I've not only been working on #Phoenix and #LiveView, but also on Tidewave. Today, we're launching the next iteration of tidewave.ai: our web based agent that allows you to give LLMs as much context about your Phoenix (or Rails) app as possible! #Tidewave

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey!
We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!
Programming, scripting, and markup languages Rust is yet again the most admired programming language (72%), followed by Gleam (70%), Elixir (66%) and Zig (64%). Gleam is a new addition to the list, and for good reason - developers like it! Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)
