A few weeks ago, I got to pair with @cloud8421 where he shared a bit about his AI workflow.

He showed me his custom-built app to manage his huge (and ever growing) record collection. And we talked a lot about pi (the harness).

Thanks again Claudio for pairing!

@DNAutics 😅 that's hilarious. The name came before the subdomain changes. Also... I know just naming it `crap` was gonna be a nightmare for searching the package. ex-crap/ex_crap/ExCrap will find it more easily. But... maybe a missed opportunity?

[German Velasco @germsvel]

Just published a new library to calculate CRAP metrics (I know, that's what it’s called 🤷): change risk anti-patterns.

It’s a metric composed of cyclomatic complexity and test coverage. 👇

The other interesting part is that this was an “I won’t read the code” experiment for me. Small lib, so seemed like a good fit.

I’ll write a blog post that talks more about that in detail with some lessons learned (for those interested).

@thramosal @josevalim My bad Thiago! It's the one by Jon McNeill. I read it recently and enjoyed it. 👇

If we want to build software factories (still an if for me), how can we build good ones?

I think that’s the biggest gap in how people use LLMs right now. And I don’t know about you, but I think it all comes down to verification. 👇

A few weeks ago, @tomasztomczyk was kind enough to pair with me and show me his AI workflow.

It was an awesome pairing session where he showed me everything, starting with his new tool (crit), his skills, commands, workflows, etc.

Thanks Tomasz for pairing! 🙏

I finished my experiment and wrote a retrospective on daily writing. For those interested 👇

[German Velasco @germsvel]

A week and a half ago, I decided to try and write daily (for 30 days) on my newsletter (https://t.co/RWo2gGDIvk)

I really like writing as a tool to sharpen my thinking. And I've been loving it!

So far, I've talked about:

- Sharpening our tools
- Stacking days
- isoquants and isocots lines (from Econ), and used them to talk about AI and Software Development. (I think I went too deeply into that 😅)
- Testing LiveView going free

Curious, has anybody else tried writing daily? What are your thoughts? Did you feel like you were going to run out of topics but didn't?

[José Valim @josevalim]

Elixir v1.20 released! Now officially a gradually typed language: Elixir type checks every single line of code, finding bugs and dead code, without developer overhead (no typing signatures) and extremely low false positives rate. Plus a faster compiler! Links and reports below.

@ThinkingElixir 🫶 thank you for so many good episodes, for countless shoutouts, and for having me as a guest. 6 years is a long run!!!

@doktoroktober Wow, that was fast! 🫶

[German Velasco @germsvel]

I've been writing daily in my newsletter for a couple of weeks now.

Some days things just come out flowing like I've been meaning to write them for a while.

This blog post was one of those (adapted from a daily post). Hope others enjoy it!
