As someone getting into the hardware side of things and building my own data acquisition tools for my cars, I thought this video had some really cool techniques and might be useful…

When developing the book, I didn't have any additional meters or sensors to cross reference measurements with so I can't comment on the accuracy unfortunately. But I did notice tha…

To clarify, the OP said: "I have neither time nor workshop space to solder and assemble anything more trivial than "plug a sensor into an ESP32 and screw both into a box"." The boo…

Hey there! My co-authors and I actually wrote a book on this topic earlier this year. It walks you though setting up a weather station with Elixir and Nerves using a Raspberry Pi a…

Co-author of Elixir Patterns here :). Really appreciate the kind words and happy to hear that you are enjoying the book! Hugo Baraúna and I have really enjoyed putting this book to…

I have been using LiveView for over a year now in production applications, and I must say...it has been a breath of fresh air when developing web applications. The amount of produc…

For a lot of the LiveView applications that I write (which is actually quite a few these days), I will usually lean on something like AlpineJS for frontend specific interactions, a…

I personally don't miss statically typed languages having worked professionally with Java, C++, and Typescript in the past. But if static typing is your cup of tea and you want to …

In my day to day work I don't write many GenServers either and I think that's a good thing. Like any tool, they can be overused and abused. It is best to stick to modules and pure …

Author here. Glad you like the banner image and the zooming effect :). Perhaps I miscommunicated what I took away from the StackOverflow survey. The point that I was trying to make…

Thanks for the kind words :) That standalone HTTP server in PromEx can also be used to expose metrics in non-Phoenix applications. In the coming weeks you'll also be able to run Gr…

As someone who has been programming with Elixir for my day job for the past few years, I find this aspect of the language to be super pragmatic and productive. It's a nice feeling …

Testing with the database has to be one of the things I love the most about Ecto. No need to mock anything, no need to have special branching logic for test versus prod. Just use t…

While there is no automatic way of doing it (as far as I know), I have been using Tailwind's @apply directive for things that are used site wide and that has worked out well. Reall…

That is definitely a valid route to go so long as your rate limiting is not dependent on much business logic. If rate limiting is per user or per user per instance/service, I would…

Great article and thanks for sharing! There are a couple of things that stand out at me as possible architecture smells (hopefully this comes across as positive constructive critic…

I would be very interested in working together on a publication...unfortunately the last couple times I submitted a proposal I never heard back. Is the write-with-us form page work…
