   I've completely refactored my Elixir codebase with Claude 4, expanded the test suite by 1,000 more tests, and released a few more features faster than I ever have to actual paying customers. Tidewave MCP is helpful as are some custom c

   Get Pro, 4 is quite good at Elixir now but you have to stay on it. 3.5 was not, so I imagine next version of Claude will be able to handle the more esoteric things like NIFs, etc.

   Very cool, thanks. Somewhat related I vibed up a simple docs/support chat bot that uses the markdown files for an astro starlight docs (all of these similar chat bot tools are like $50 a month): https://star-support-demo.ver

   You're getting downvoted, but most of the time I prefer room temperature water.

   I’d love to hear more about how this works. It’s whatever you built, integrated with your email stack? Because I’m super sassed out.

   Yes. And way less boring than manually reading a section of a codebase to understand what is going on after being away from it for 8 months. Claude's docs and git commit writing skills are worth it for that alone.

   The problem is GPT-5 is not in the same league as even Claude 3.5. But I do hope their lower pricing puts some downward pressure on Anthropic's next release.

   Yeah, I noticed this too about sportball people - they’re generally out of shape and not actually athletic (I’m fit and active in several outdoor sports). I just find watching or talking about sports excruciatingly boring. To me it’s the sa

    That might be a stretch, maybe Sonnet 3.5. But it is pretty impressive as is Kimi on opencode.

    I’m not sure whether to miss it or not as I never understood their model naming nor how to choose the right one for my use case. So I’m actually glad they simplified their product lineup.

    Title could just be "Toyota has more than 1.2 km on it", as we already all know it would be a Toyota.

    Oban is awesome, but I really like the ideas around pgmq and most of the logic living in the database. And the idea of "flows" design from pgflow for multi-step processes (which Elixir is naturally a great match for)
15. 495.▲
    by cpursley 1y ago

    It’s used to generate the database migration that defines the flows. More syntax sugar than anything.

    I've been using https://www.pgflow.dev for workflows which is built on pgmq and am really impressed so far. Most of the logic is in the database so I'm considering building an Elixir adapter DSL.

    Use Claude Code, the rest aren't worth the bother.

    You still are, and more than you've sent to help Ukraine. I was mostly talking nuclear power shutdowns btw. Meanwhile, vital German heavy industry has already started shutting down.

    Claude's proclivity for writing detailed comments and inline comments and very near perfect commit messages is one of the best things about it.

    Don’t forget the energy suicide Germany has committed. Cheap energy was the backbone of Germanys rich industrial economy, and that rug has been (allowed and even encouraged) to be pulled by none other than the country now offering them a “v

    Jules can't even get past a basic-ass "npm build" script that works both on my mac and in a docker container". Are they running a Windows NT VM or something?

    There are certainly some lessons here that go beyond coding agents (when it comes to shipping products).

    Snacking is an American/Anglo world thing. As are terrible manners in general. Civilized people sit down and eat at the table, and that includes having their children do the same - even for snacks (there are some exceptions, of course)

    What really amazes me is seeing little kids at the playground etc, walking around and eating things like Cheetos. Not only is this ultra-processed junk terrible for them, it's programming them bad habits (and manners) to just free feed

    I'm more inclined to think it was follow the cloud's trajectory with pricing getting pushed down as these things become hot-swappable utilities (and they already are to some extent). Even more so with open models capable of runnin
