@printmatic Ya man!

@ZachSDaniel1 Totally agreed, I think we lose something in both directions when we pretend ai agents are people. The only rebuttal I have about agents treating each other like humans is that our language is their ground level reality. Will be interesting to see where that goes.

@zacksiri Well put!

I believe in the EEF! @TheErlef

I'm on the board so I get to see first-hand the amount of work and toil that goes into making the #ElixirLang, #Erlang & greater #BEAM ecosystem better.

What I also get to see, though, is how much we need your help. Relative to the revenue generated by companies that use Elixir, the EEF has a pittance.

Most of us know what's happening the OSS world and security right now. What you probably don't see is the massive amount of coordination and scrambling going on at every level to secure the open source ecosystem. While this may have been operating at a sustainable pace before, the advent of AI has fundamentally changed the game.

The EEF maintains a CNA, and actively coordinates and advises across the board on security issues. They are helping to make our languages more secure, and even https://t.co/VVBtFqrccb!

But the bad news here is that this is no longer sustainable. We need people who are generating revenue on the BEAM ecosystem to pitch in. We need a bigger team of people solving these problems because what we have is barely enough as is.

The real problem, however is that this is progressively getting worse by multiple orders of magnitude. CVEs coming in left front and center.

This is a tragedy of the commons. People are not helping foot the bill for our open source ecosystem. Before that used to mean "inconvenience", as you had to fork packages or version mismatches. But now? Now it means getting pwned.

Join me in becoming a member of the EEF, and please, if you run a company built on a BEAM language: DONATE.

@seanonolennon You weren’t supposed to know this.

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@JimmyHillside Technically impressive. Emotionally, not so much. Congrats on the impressiveness of it all.

@quatermain32 I hope “is this safe to merge” isn’t the only thing that gets something merged

@tonybanksmusic Loved this album, hearing this song takes me right back to 1983.

@buildwithparas @bcardarella Disagree

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@bcardarella @ryanwinchester Not having this problem on legacy codebases, but I’m also not getting it to do tasks that require multiple hour runs. I get it to plan work in 5-15 minute slices. Seems to work, even coordinating multi-repo tasks.

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@kobo Yes yes.

I've just set up a project to help me manage an extremely complicated and messy interaction: updating the email address of a Rakuten/Kobo subscription. It's become absolutely byzantine and diabolical. @kobo

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@BretWeinstein Why thank you. Do you want the password here, right on X? It’s not clear.

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@JimmyHillside What’s a hundred years 😛

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@ehumperdinck Right on! Legend

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@ziggymarley @InspiringChldrn Big up

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@SoulCoughingOne ouch

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@printmatic Watching the screen on your MPC I just got Notator vibes, was not expecting that :P Good times.

[Mike Schell @mkschell]

@ZachSDaniel1 @AnthropicAI Great progress, go get some sleep! (1:00 PM)

@nilerodgers Sweet
