Sharing this with a big recommendation. You'll have a hard time finding someone as knowledgeable as @hauleth.dev

Hi Bsky hivemind, is anyone looking for seasoned #ElixirLang developer? EMEA-based, fully remote.

Either consulting or full-time.

Your inner perfectionist is why that 3-week project is now at month 3. Ship the embarrassingly simple version. Get real feedback. Iterate. Every day your code isn't in users' hands is a day you're not learning if you're building the right thing.

I wanna share something I’ve been working on in my free time: darkdown.app. It’s an web-based markdown editor, with organization features and easy sharing of either individual notes or whole folders. Gorgeous design, no distractions. Would looove feedback and ideas ❤️
darkdown - Gorgeous notes, nothing else
A minimalistic notes platform where ideas come to life. Write in markdown, organize with tags, and share publicly with the world.

Another balanced take on AI productivity claims. It's not that it can't increase productivity, but how do you measure that? Delivering 10x faster means a 3 month project takes a week and a bit. Outside of prototypes and greenfield projects, is that realistic?

I’m starting to look around for my next role!

I'm a deeply technical engineer, with over a decade of professional experience in domains from cyber security to distributed systems and decentralized tech.

My personal projects have spanned embedded systems to biohacking—I love learning new things.

Most engineers hate estimates because they've been weaponized by bad managers. But when teams treat estimates as conversations instead of contracts, they actually ship more consistently. Not because they predict better, but because they communicate better.

Haven't been posting in a while, so here's a spicy take: Your job as a software engineer isn't writing code. It's solving problems. The best engineers don't optimize for flow state—they optimize for impact.

Forgot to post here so... Hello network! It's time for me to move on and I'm kicking off the search for my next role. Let me know if you're looking for someone who obsessively ships, takes on whatever work has the highest impact, and consistently gets feedback like "you're too impatient".

One of my favorite LLM quirks is when they keep adding random flags that don't exist to commands. Yes, please run `mix format --proper` and then `mix test --all`. And then when that made up flag causes an error it's perfectly normal to then just give up on running the command. The future is here!

"The AI’s suggestion isn’t wrong—it might be perfectly adequate. The issue is that we’re increasingly likely to stop exploring once we have something that looks right."

Pitfalls of premature closure with LLM assisted coding
When LLM models generates clean, professional-looking code, it's tempting to stop exploring alternatives. But therein lies the risks that comes with premature closure. So what is premature closure?

Another convincing post on why it's very hard to really evaluate the productivity gains/efficacy of using AI for solving problems.

"It gets most things right, but it consistently makes mistakes in the places that you are least likely to notice. In places where a person *wouldn’t* make a mistake. ... there’s no mind there, so it always behaves infuriatingly randomly."

"Distributed Elixir is not necessarily easy, but it can be simple. Simple in the sense of “not complex” and reducing the number of moving pieces."
