@ifthenalex's #AshConf talk is out!

A thoughtful look at the new UX patterns we need to design for, and gracefully handle, now that more and more of our users are performing their work via agents.

It's seen through an Ash lens, but the takeaways are far wider-reaching and should be considered by all Product Engineers and Builders.

Well worth a watch:

Introducing: Ash.Signals 😎

Signals are a way to model complex side effects in large #AshFramework applications. They provide a typed contract and compile time guarantees, and can dramatically help when building applications with complex and interconnected domains.

Check out the explainer! https://t.co/pI3VqtgYim

@ZachSDaniel1 I can't tell you how tempted I am to build OnlySands into a global sand-as-a-service. I think the market is ready for some premium grain content! 😂

[Conor @_csinclair_]

Check out my talk at #AshConf: When Time Meets State!
I dive into how the time can be modeled in Ash applications, and unveil a new library we've been working on at @teamalembic which gives you primitives and abstractions for building workflows with time as a first-class concern!

[Zach Daniel @ZachSDaniel1]

Next drop from #AshConf is out! @_csinclair_ gives an extremely entertaining talk, featuring time, state and...little baggies of sand delivered internationally via a service called OnlySands??? 😂

@ajetha's AshConf keynote just got released, and its well worth a watch!

He breaks down how his team went from a polyglot, microservices architecture to Ash and Elixir.

A great narrative driven answer to the common question "why Ash?"

If your company is interested in training for your engineering team on Ash, Elixir or agent-proofing your codebase, then come and chat to @teamalembic!

Last week I had the honour of facilitating the Ash Demystified Workshop at #Goatmire conference in Varberg, Sweden, alongside my @teamalembic colleague Barnabas Jovanovics, an #Ash core team member and one of the most thoughtful engineers I've had the pleasure of working with.

[Conor @_csinclair_]

Thanks to everyone who attended and made it such a fun learning experience!

Going to be a great day for #AshFramework users, and just those curious to hear more 😎

A few themes to expect this year:

- Novel and interesting tech ideas
- Experienced Ash operators
- A nice mix of very technical and high level topics, all accessible to those familiar with Ash and those with little-to-no Ash experience

Catch me speaking at #AshConf this year, with my talk "When Time Meets State"
I'm really looking forward to this one!

[Zach Daniel @ZachSDaniel1]

At #AshConf, @_csinclair_ will be talking about a really cool synthesis of multiple Ash packages. This is something I've wanted to exist for a long time 😎

I'm pleased to announce that @barnabasMJ, one of Ash's longest standing core team members, will be speaking at #AshConf about something very cool and ambitious 😎

I can't wait to hear about these projects. I've only got an inkling and what I've seen so far as *very* cool!

[Zach Daniel @ZachSDaniel1]

This year at #AshConf we'll get to hear from @joshprice on Precision Domain Modeling. @joshprice has been the longest standing champion of Ash, and at @teamalembic they build ambitious software in record time.

That team is working with some serious firepower, and everyone in the #AshFramework community has a lot to thank @joshprice and the team for. Don't miss his talk!

#AshFramework's AshAI package and OAuth2 Server package have both been updated to support the latest Model Context Protocol. Backwards compatible with previous versions.
