Better Elixir diffs with difftastic

Difftastic is a structural diffing tool that understands syntax:

Difftastic is a CLI diff tool that compares files based on their syntax, not line-by-line. Difftastic produces accurate diffs that are easier for humans to read.

Unfortunately, Difftastic did not understand HEEx templates syntax well, so changes were not highlighted properly. I’ve submitted a pull request to fix this which is now merged, so any Elixir dev using Difftastic should see improved diffing for HEEx templates.

Don't let the last word to the Logger

In Elixir a logger statement returns :ok always, whatever level you use, even with Logger.error and it makes total sense, that’s a deliberately choice inherited from Erlang. And this implicit return value can trick you. Let’s see how to write a custom Credo check to prevent this.

Artifix: A batteries included template for creating a private Hex Registry on top of S3 and CloudFront

Introducing Artifix: a batteries included template for creating a mono-repo that contains Hex packages that can be distributed, either internally (i.e. privately with your team) or externally (i.e. to any subscribers, or to just anyone in the world). It has ready to run actions that run with GitHub actions to deploy a fully build static Hex Registry to S3, with CloudFront as a CDN on top of it. Also included is an automatic way to add auth-keys via a CloudFront Function, which let’s you add authentication if you want to ensure nobody is using your registry without your approval. https://github.com/probably-not/artifix
