I've been super quiet on socials (because everything is a screaming burning hell for everyone amirite) but I'll try to post a bit more. What better excuse than the first 1.0 release of Gettext for @elixir-lang.org, which is 10+ years old?! Fresh of an Hex near you???

This is not very different than what I call out in the post: it's essentially a mock of :application. But yeah would do the trick 🤓

Maybe, especially for OS env and app env which don't have a "pluggable backend" architecture. However, I like the explicitness of calling those functions myself, you know.

For logger this can be done with a logger handler already.

I wrote about something very close to my heart: how to make ALL the tests async in @elixir-lang.org.

Enjoy! 🏎️

How to Async Tests in Elixir

It can be hard to keep tests asynchronous as Elixir applications grow in size and complexity. Let's see why, and explore fixes.

#elixir community!

I’m trying to write a blog post and need some sources/data.

Could you please run "mix test" on one or more of your @elixir-lang.org codebases and report results?

I’m looking for:

1. # of tests
2. # of async tests
3. Total time sync
4. Total time async

How do you avoid the trap of having to allow notifs from an app (Uber for example) and then the app spams you with shit non-relevant notifications about promotions and other stuff?

I played around with an @obsidian.md theme for my own usage, I might open it up if I get to polish it enough 🙃

Super nice post about @elixir-lang.org's nimble_ownership library by Alex Martsinovich:

I've been wearing this lil fucker for the past few months. I appreciate beautiful watches but man. No charging, no notifications. I wouldn't be able to break it if I tried. Looks kick ass like I’m an 80s cool kid or something. The hell

Yeah great call out. iOS has had that for years now though right?

Andrea Leopardi @whatyouhi.de · Nov 28

Interesting read by @mitsuhiko.at. I think this applies to lots of use cases. It does make software harder in some way IMO, but "hard software" is generally easier to solve than "software that needs to be used for a long time". Thoughts?

In my experience it introduces more friction in the dev workflow, with having to keep clean commits in PRs or rewrite history before merging and whatnot. Saša, wanna fistfight about who's right at AlchemyConf? 🥊😑
