Pop quiz time: Given a published post with an associated user, what gets printed here?

if user_id = post.user_id && post.published? do
IO.inspect(user_id)
end

Hint: It ain't what I thought.

Is anyone on here that has combined #elixirlang, ecto schemas[1] and @couchdb? Any patterns you came up with? Care to share notes?

Unfortunately, the Global Elixir Meetups are happening the same week as @cbsoft.bsky.social and @se4fp.github.io .

But you might find a local GEM (Global Elixir Meetup) in your region — check them out here: http://bit.ly/4p9yQqf

I’m publishing a new series of articles on my blog this week. It’s my attempt to condense and share what I’ve learned in over 20 years of #ElixirLang / #Phoenix / #LiveView and #Ruby / #Rails development. I hope you find it helpful.

What are all y'all's laptops looking like? Are you a purist or tagger like me.

I'm choosy about my stickers, so far this is my status.

My best projects come through referrals. If you know a team that could use a seasoned Elixir dev, I’d be grateful if you passed this along.

Tidewave - Tried it yet?

We're hearing interesting things... ashweekly.substack.com/p/ash-weekly-issue-15
What about you?

Friend of mine really trying to get me into #vibecoding

And claims it's great to start a project from scratch with it. I got cursor, and had it try and set up a basic #PhoenixLiveView #elixirlang app, and it couldn't get past connecting to the local database lol.

It's somehow dumber than even me!

#Elixirlang people, what are you using for displaying localized lists of countries and building international address forms in your Phoenix apps? #MyElixirStatus

It seems like the existing clones of the Ruby "countries" gem aren’t super well maintained, missing i18n, and don’t have address helpers (e.g. to answer the question if state/province is mandatory or if postal code goes before/after city).

Phoenix 1.18 is going to ship with support for https://daisyui.com. I wonder if upgrading might be a good opportunity for Keila to switch to daisyUI as well. Spruce up the UI a bit, simplify the markup, and finally add support for light mode.

Do any of you have thoughts on daisyUI?

Coming soon to your mix file #ElixirLang

Haystack, a simple, extendable full-text search engine written in Elixir.

This blog post is an overview of how Haystack is built, the motivations for the project, and the design decisions I have made to allow Haystack to be as simple and extendable as possible. #ElixirLang #myelixirstatus

Looks awesome. https://culttt.com/2023/03/22/building-a-full-text-search-engine-in-elixir
