I've just published Jason.Native - an extension to Jason that uses a technique I call "sprinkle of NIFS" to improve performance. It makes encoding JSON 1.5-8x faster. I hope it's going to be a strong @spawnfest submission! #myelixirstatus github.com/spawnfest/json_na…

We’re looking for an experienced iOS developer to join my team at @PSPDFKit. Nice place to work. Fully remote by design. Unusual challenges making an SDK. Willingness to use both Swift and Objective-C is necessary. pspdfkit.bamboohr.com/career…

Livebook desktop doesn't require the person to have Elixir previously installed on their machine. That can help, for example, to make it easier to teach/learn Elixir. We hope you enjoy it! 😊

🚀 We’re excited to announce our official launch of PSPDFKit API: our hosted solution for automated document processing. You can convert, generate, and process documents all with a single API request. pspdfkit.com/blog/2022/annou…
Details matter - and they get lost when you read abstract sets of generalized recommendations. I’d like to read/hear about everyday stories of people working together. 5/5
PSA: since openssl 3 is out you might get it when upgrading one of your brew packages. Erlang doesn't recognise it yet. To specify openssl 1.1 explicitly, do: $ KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-ssl=$(brew --prefix [email protected])" asdf install erlang 24.1.4 #MyElixirStatus

I'd be interested to hear experiences of people/companies who made fundamental tech choices with energy consumption in mind (where the energy consumption is not tied to device constraints - that's a separate topic). 3/3

Question for any follower I have who uses Windows: if you do, what do you use to interact with HTTP APIs in the initial exploration phase? Before you switch to your programming language of choice. Please RT.

Evolution of a software engineer’s perspective: 1. It’s about the code! 2. It’s about the design! 3. It’s about the requirements! 4. It’s about the human coordination!

Everyone is speaking about JIT in OTP 24 and I am happy about the fact that we got global Logger metadata: logger:update_primary_config(#{metadata => #{version => "1.2.3"}}). And now the version will be present in all your log messages. #myelixirstatus

Właśnie odwiedziłem konsulat w Los Angeles aby się dowiedzieć jakie mam możliwości powrotu do Polski po nagłym ogłoszeniu przez premiera, że mój kraj całkowicie wstrzymuję połaczenia lotnicze. Nic się nie dowiedziałem, bo konsulat jest nieczynny w soboty...
