Pretty much this. Also, I’m not sure most people realise how incremental LiveView can be. You can use it for a little widget on any page and later swap in a react component if you truly need one (which most apps probably don’t). It’s not de

This post must have taken a ton of time to build, and it's extremely well done. The author has a really nice CSS course about to launch if anyone is interested. https://css-for-js.dev

Changesets are such a great idea, I always find myself trying to replicate them when working in other environments. If anyone is interested, I found this article showing how to use changesets outside the database: https://elixirf

Nice article! Ecto is such a wonderful, composable tool that really shows the benefits of FP. A while back[1] I mentioned how I find it hard to live without Rails gems like Pagy, Ransack and Pundit. But after a deep dive with Ecto I now fin

That's fine, just stay away from our towns and businesses where you can endanger people who care about each other. Your livelihood may not be threatened, mine isn't either - but you're probably threatening someone else's

Great resource, thank you. I've been slowly transitioning my programming time to Elixir/Phoenix the last couple years. Every couple weeks I dive in, but mostly going back to Rails. But recently with the `1.6.0-rc.0` release, this

As a non US citizen who knows very little about these things, could someone ELI5 what the implications would be if the Coinbase Lend program is successfully classified as a security?

I completely agree about the Django ORM. I used Prisma for a couple projects and that sold the idea of "changing the model and generating the migrations" for me. Now, it feels a bit silly to explicitly define migrations. I'd

Ruby on Rails, with a couple React bits in there for “islands of interactivity”. Coupled with old-skool Heroku it lets me punch above my weight class, iterate like you would not believe, and focus on the business. I only recently moved to R

Heex templates alone are going to be a game changer. I've been looking for 1.6 updates every day - can't wait for the release. I'm hoping the development of community libraries will pick up again. Coming from Rails, gems like

Eh, unless an app is a SPA (where you attach event handlers to buttons to run client side validation or something like that) it’s way simpler to have a form route to another resource via a link. But users think of them more as actions than

Looks cool, if a little pricey. What's keeping me from using serverless for more general purpose SaaS is that there is absolutely no good answer for background jobs. Sure, you can plug in some external CRON service, use GitHub Actions,

This is awesome. I've been looking forward to a Phoenix like framework in Gleam, and now I can totally see the same language being used on the frontend too.

Great question! If you're interested, I'd recommend reading up a bit on all the different rendering and deployment modes Next offers with and without Vercel/Netlify. If you use Next.js only for CSR, as I'm sure most peop

Why would you need a custom web server to run Next.js in CSR mode? Edit: Unintentional sarcastic reply from my side, it was a good question.

I'd argue most Next sites use only client side rendering.

How else would you do it though? Surely you don’t want a random Mac to push its cursor onto your iPad? Same with all the other handoff features. Maybe I’m missing something!

I’m sitting in Africa and I can whisper “Elixir job” out my bathroom window and have 10 people interested in it. Maybe it used to be difficult.

This comment sold Elixir for me more than anything. On a small team, each of those are massive headaches. Using Elixir I can have all of that with a unified vocabulary, documentation, deployment, syntax, repository, etc. Sure, each might be

Maybe I'm being dumb - and there certainly is no rule written in stone about this - but I expect a level of craftsmanship and dedication from published books that only comes from years of research/experience. I would hate to s
