You all probably know that José Valim is Brazilian and that his native language is Portuguese.

I (Adolfo Neto), Herminio Torres, Matheus Pesanha and Cristine Guadelupe have started a podcast in Portuguese:

Elixir em Foco (translation: Elixir in Focus) - https://elixiremfoco.com

We launched the new episode, interviewing Elaine Naomi Watanabe, a software engineer and The RealReal.

The following is a collection of terms I try to be mindful of in my own work. Hopefully this list helps inspire some of your own terminology choices. https://elixirfocus.com/posts/programming-terminology/

In this video Alex Koutmos joins me to show us all how his library PromEx helps making setting up Prometheus and Grafana with Elixir oh so much simpler. He came prepared so it is a pretty tightly packed video. Let me know if I should let him back on to do custom metrics as well ;)

I’m building a product with the requirement to fetch website social media information. So I created an Open Graph protocol library.

There are two kinds of APIs, you can have a try with the Livebook file in the repo:

1. Parse HTML string
2. Fetch information from a URL

Following are document and repo URLs:

• https://hexdocs.pm/ogp/1.0.2/readme.html
• https://github.com/goofansu/ogp

I made branchpage.com, every article published there has its source code on github, allowing writes to get pull requests from readers and improve their content thanks to open source.

You can check a blog example here: branchpage.com/felipelincoln.

github.com/felipelincoln/branchpage

Because of Protocol Consolidation, defining a Protocol-based mock in a test environment is harder than Behaviour-based mock.

So I wrote Promox to make that easier.

Surprisingly, Protocol-based mocks are actually easier to use. Check the docs and source code to see why:

• source code: https://github.com/dsdshcym/promox

Hi there!

Here’s the second part of the Three real-world examples of distributed Elixir series, in which we will see how to create and supervise a singleton periodic process across the cluster using three different global registries: :global, swarm, and horde.

Happy coding!

The latest episode of Elixir Wizards is out today! Check it out here: https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s6e5-cesarini/

A founding engineer of Ramp, one of NYC’s fastest’s unicorns, outlines why they chose Elixir for critical services. Contains links to many talks and blog posts, and compares it with other popular startup stacks.

In the last year I’ve made the switch to Neovim Nightly, and with it my setup for Elixir development has changed! This article goes over the plugins and configuration you’ll need to get a solid experience.

In this part we will work on the bookmarks functionality and notify users when a following adds new posts to our homepage.

In this post, we’ll do a quick overview of monitoring memory issues in Erlang and Elixir setups.

In episode 50 of Thinking Elixir, Angelika Tyborska shares the history of exercism.io, her involvement, what issues were addressed in v2 and the soon to be released v3. We cover the Elixir track, her work as a maintainer, the journey of a student and how people can help as mentors. We also talk about the fun she had creating a maze generator and more!

Here’s the story of how the convention of a political party in Germany was almost ruined with a flawed implementation of LiveView and GenServer.

Union input types are not supported by GraphQL spec yet, but you can simulate that behaviour and add automatic validation by using an Absinthe middleware.

I just released the template that I use to jump-start Phoenix projects (named Legendary). It’s all the goodness of Phoenix+Elixir plus lots of bells and whistles.

Hi there! I just started a new blog series called Three real-world examples of distributed Elixir. Here is the first part out of four, in which we will make a gentle introduction to distributed Elixir. Happy coding!

So I sat down during my last livestream and gave a first pass at building a web crawler. More to come on this project this coming friday.
