Elixir canvas to rasterized terminal rendering has never been easier!

Totally agree with that!

With pi-agent, I use a todos extension, originally by @mitsuhiko.at, that makes it super easy to interactively steer the agent; I use it for the same type of reasons. Though, an out of band todo, as is the one you create, could be much easier to reason about, think through, and type out.

If Codex fails on #elixirlang with "failed to open a TCP socket in Mix.Sync.PubSub.subscribe/1, reason: :eperm" try this setting in your ~/.codex/config.toml:

Playwright remote server support (websocket) for phoenix_test_playwright 🥳

Looking for early feedback — especially around CI setups.
"Remote server playbook" for the docs.

Please give the main branch a spin:

Hat tip to Carson and Tyler!

The more I have AI agents write all my code, the more I feel that us devs will be alright (and possibly more in-demand for important stuff)

Hard for me to imagine anyone building *reliable* software without an understanding of how to do this (either via experience or study)

We will somehow escape to some deserted island that has a forgotten/hidden cache of rum left over by Captain Jack Sparrow. I can’t think of any other way to survive the absolute incompetence and foolishness of every single member of this administration and their “decisions”.

I’ve heard positives about Talktastic. I’m also evaluating some options.

For all TUI enjoyers, if you haven't tried gh-dash.dev, you're missing something. It's a simple gh cli extension but it feels like giving GitHub a proper tiling window manager.

Simple but so good.

Absolutely wonderful example of an nvim plugin readme, btw. Thank you!

a 2D/3D representation of the Nakatomi tower from the movie Die Hard. An advent calendar where the antagonist Hans Gruber is falling down the side of the 'building'. The building has 24 'levels' marked for each day of advent.

nearly there Hans, nearly there.

Need repo info so I can check this out

Hammerspoon is my life — megalithic/dotfiles-nix has all my latest stuff. I can’t Mac without Hammerspoon unfortunately. 🤣

Document: startViewTransition() method - Web APIs | MDN The startViewTransition() method of the Document interface starts a new same-document (SPA) view transition and returns a ViewTransition object to represent it.

startViewTransition() is now part of Baseline! 🆕

This API lets you create smooth same-document (SPA) transitions, no framework required. Perfect for page updates, theme switches, and animated UI changes.

Very Important Agents | Nick Nisi My recent Changelog and Friends podcast appearance and the Claude Code plugins that help me get real work done with AI.

🤖 Very Important Agents

I was recently on the @changelog.com & Friends show to discuss my AI workflow, AI browsers, Bun's acquisition, and more! I wrote about it and went into more detail on my workflow plus some of the agents I'm building/using.

Tmux still a must

Excited to try this out!

This was a fantastic episode and I’m really grateful for you two gentlemen.

TIL: `--seed 0` disables the randomization of ExUnit tests, essentially ensuring the tests will run in the declaration order. Very useful when "watching" & using `--max-failures 1` to get consistent output as you TDD hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/1.19...

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law.

Updating my LEGO White House

This is gross. If you think that responding to a tragedy with “thoughts and prayers” is insufficient, surely responding with mockery is even worse.

You don’t have to be LDS or even religious to be compassionate towards this LDS church and the collective grief of its people.

Agreed. Listened to an interview on Syntax.fm recently where they talked about some of the perf issues with next.js and it was an instant no-go for me. Easy enough to spin up barebones phoenix app and trivially add pretty much any JS framework.

Don’t forget this is the same president at the same White House podium that recommended injections of disinfectants to combat COVID-19. 🤦‍♂️

Ahmed, your dotfiles have, and continue to be, a gold standard for me. Thank you for sharing. The oss and dev community at large, have benefited greatly. 💯

💯 to this. It solves so many git workflow shenanigans and Just Feels Right™️

Deep in the move to #nix for #dotfiles and system management; also fully using #jujutsu too. Big up to @evantravers.bsky.social for the assist. 🙏🏻💯

ghostty / neovim / tmux (I’ve got too many useful tmux workflows/scripts I’ve written over the years to ditch it for native things in ghostty).

So true!
