Do you think that if we make our LLMs smart enough, they will create simulated universes with little simulated people in them that create LLMs? Asking for a friend

Bonus points if her name was Marian
I’d go to a conference just to hear that talk
@postgresqlhero.bsky.social do you sing “Postgres hero” to yourself to the tune of “jukebox hero”. Or is that just me?
We are hosting several apps on fly FWIW. Have also looked at render which seems very good and it was super easy to deploy elixir apps there
Nice! Love to hear how it goes when you do
Based on this thread you might want to check out LiveState, a project to let you enjoy the same lovely developer experience you get with LiveView, but view layer agnostic. I've been using it with web components but you can use it with anything: github.com/launchscout/...
As someone who has leaned pretty heavily into trying to productively (and hopefully responsibly) leverage LLM code generation, it was nice to spend some time tracking down and squashing a LiveState bug that the coding robots couldn't possibly understand. Release forthcoming :)
It's not that I am too lazy to choose the correct emoji I am Simpsons yellow IRL
This is Cincinnatus the Roman our city was named after. He is returning the symbol of leadership called a fasces (the root of the word fascism) to return to a life of farming, thus becoming AFAIK history’s first anti-fascist
Before liveview for every project we were build two applications, a front end in react and a backend in elixir. Now we are building a single application and able to move at least twice as fast
I hope some of these disaffected #Ruby folks will give #ElixirLang a fresh look
So many Elixir developers come from Rails including Elixir's creator José Valim
The ecosystem is growing, it's inclusive (me <- 🏳️⚧️), and we could 100% use your energy and your devotion to developer happiness
I'll be speaking on Tuesday at 6PM ET as part of the Global Elixir Meetup (GEM) week. If you're in the Cincinnati area, join us in person at the Launch Scout office. If you can't make it, the event will be streamed. Details at globalelixirmeetups.com/event/cincin...

That is so awesome!! Congrats Eileen
So there seems to be a lot of cursor unhappiness these days, and that inspired me to check out Roo Code based on a recommendation. Its an OS VSCode extension (BYOM api key). Brief experiments with claude 4 doing work on a phoenix app went well, FWIW. Gonna keep digging in: roocode.com
Thank you to all who weathered the [literal] storm last week for @superchris.launchscout.com talk about helping teams adopt AI. What we liked best was that it felt like a true meetup. It ended with everyone sitting down, chairs turned toward the center, honestly sharing and listening to each other.
Tomorrow evening @superchris.launchscout.com will share his experience helping real software development teams effectively adopt AI on real projects. Listen and chat over some pizza at Alloy Development Co starting at 5:30PM!
Register (it's free) here:
@superchris.launchscout.com will be sharing practical insights on how we're collaborating with tech teams in his in-person talk, "Beyond Vibe Coding: Lessons from helping teams effectively adopt AI," at 5:30 PM on June 18 at Alloy.

I'd be pretty interested in this. Anywhere I can go to dig in further?
Really surprised no one thought to name their LLM Mr. MeSeeks. Seems like a missed branding opportunity.
I wrote this a while back for @teamlaunchscout.bsky.social -- "How to Support the Elixir Development Community" launchscout.com/blog/support...
It remains pretty useful, though I know some of the details have since shifted.
I'm really grateful to and fond of the #elixirlang community
Let’s recap:
BBC uses custom Elixir DSLs to serve
📈 600m+ monthly unique views
💻 12 servers (down from 100
🧑💻 7 #elixirlang engineers!
Mind blowing! 🤯
Really wish I could be there but very excited for your talk :)
Next year! If not sooner :)
