It’s true! After 6 years of weekly episodes, the Thinking Elixir Podcast will be ending on June 23rd. Three episodes left. It’s been an incredible run and I’m grateful for every listener who came along for the journey. #podcast #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang

Claude/Codex + Elixir + Phoenix + LiveView is such an insane superpower.

The entire stack, from low-level distributed systems modeling all the way up to the UI, is all built in one language & runtime that's easy to reason through.

[Erlang Ecosystem Foundation @TheErlef]

35% of the CVEs published by our CNA fall under uncontrolled resource consumption. That's a high number for something that is largely preventable.

Woot! https://t.co/3q87OK38TD will now serve llms.txt for Elixir/Erlang packages if the accept header is text/markdown. If you have a package and you use ExDoc, update to the latest version (which generates .md files by default) and republish your docs.

[José Valim @josevalim]

We just launched a massive update for Tidewave, so expect videos and screenshots over the next days.

To get us started: UI variants!

Ask your coding agent to build different versions of a page or a UI component and Tidewave helps you pick and improve your favorite!
