An image of a page from the Chicago Sun Times titled, "Summer reading list for 2025" with an image of a woman sitting on a porch, perhaps, beside a body of water, reading. It's beige as fuck. Above the title is a row of icons that invoke summer, I guess. The article itself is too long to reproduce, BUT, only five of the fifteen books listed here as titles you should read are actually real. Brit Bennett doesn't have a book titled Hurricane Season. The fuck? Isabel Allende has no book named Tidewater Dreams. The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir, The Collector's Piece by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Nightshade Market by Min Jin Lee, The Longest Day by Rumaan Alam, Boiling Point by Rebecca Makkai, Migrations by Maggie O'Farrell, The Rainmakers by Percival Everett, and Salt and Honey by Delia Owens are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!!

Of the books named on this reading list, Brit Bennet, Isabel Allende, Andy Weir, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Min Jin Lee, Rumaan Alam, Rebecca Makkai, Maggie O'Farrell, Percival Everett, and Delia Owens' titles are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!!

I'm launching a new front-end framework that'll help you!

I was practising #ElixirLang with some simple #Exercism challenges, using #Copilot at the same time. I jotted down some observations about the experience:

This is the climax of “Hot Frosty,” a real movie that exists

Oh wow! That’s awesome

Tracking Real-Time Ship Data with Elixir and a WebSocket API Learn how to build a real-time WebSocket client in Elixir to track live ship data using the AIS Stream API.

I had some fun earlier, tracking freighters outside my window with a WebSocket API in #ElixirLang

This is great! I'm struggling to figure out where/how the jekyll front matter variable `bluesky_post_uri` is used with this though? Any tips?

I'm not sure I post frequently enough to make my sharing of #AdventOfCode challenge completions in #ElixirLang come off as anything but annoying (especially to non-coders). I don't want my timeline to just be *that*.

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2

github.com/paulfedory/a...

I've completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

🎄 T-24 hours until #AdventOfCode 2024! 🎄

Same! (elixir, not gleam)

are you headed to a wine mixer, by any chance?

what about the Secret of Monkey Island bot, though? come on, now.

I want to share something I built for the Elixir community: elixirevents.net ✨ I want to make it easier to find events like conferences and meetups, to help the community grow. Anyone can contribute, events are only visible with admin approval. For feature requests or feedback please let me know! 🙏

So this is pretty cool: I think I’m the first national news correspondent to switch my chyron social handle from X to Bluesky. 💪🏽

woo, I completed my Goodreads challenge goal! I set it pretty low, but hey, it's been a hard year and so I'm pleased.

To all new Elixir-it’s:

Welcome to BlueSky!

I created this starter pack to get you started: go.bsky.app/EuRHN7o

I don't see ads here but I'm using an ad-blocker... I know many people I follow have decided to come here over anywhere else.

Hello, everyone! This place feels like a breath of fresh air, doesn't it?

Elixir and BEAM starter pack.
