    I have some projects with a fairly steady load that I'm currently running on a VPS on Digital Ocean. I have some non-critical ones that I'd be interested in moving to "bare metal" …

    My youngest is absolutely obsessed with construction trucks. We really love the "Construction Site" series by Sherri Duskey Rinker. Some of the later books in the series go into ho…

    If you haven’t yet, you should try out usage_rules mix package. I mostly use Ash, which has great support for usage rules and it’s a night and day difference in effectiveness. Tide…

    A bit late but it’s been fantastic so far. I’m using it for a GraphQL backend so I haven’t tried with LiveView yet but I don’t think it’ll differ too much. I know Ash has their own…

    Very cool to see usage_rules mentioned in the blog. That tool is such a great idea, and leveraging that for Ash development has made a drastic improvement in LLM development for me…

    I use Tidewave which is a package for my Elixir app, and it allows the LLM to get access to some internals of my app. For example, Tidewave exposes tools to inspect the database sc…

    I guess, but you'll be writing a _lot_ of code yourself, that might be hard to maintain and can become brittle overtime as requirements evolve. As an example, I wanted to add suppo…

    My current project is using React Native (for native and web) and getting GraphQL setup was initially a pain, but having React and GraphQL subscriptions gives me enough of the "liv…

    Yes, the learning curve is a extremely high. It took a few false starts over time, but after the "Ash book" came out, I gave it a more serious try and it finally started to click f…

    I've been using Elixir for about a year on a side project and I've been enjoying it more than any other backend I've used (Node, Rails and C#). I recently discovered Ash and I feel…

    Claude Code has pretty much replaced Copilot overnight for me, though I wish the VS Code plugin was a bit more integrated, as it's only a little bit more than a terminal, though I …

    I absolutely loved EverQuest and it’s still probably holds some of my fondest gaming memories. My favorite feeling about it is that it felt like a real world first, gameplay second…

    The GraphQL layer is built on top of Absinthe. If you really find something you can't model with Ash's actions, you can always just jump to your Absinthe schema and write you own q…

    I've been working on a project for a few months, and I had some of those initial pain points early on as well. I've actually found the codebase surprisingly approachable and have f…

    I'm also very comfortable with Phoenix and Ecto (and LiveView), and initially found Ash a challenge to wrap my head around. After working through the book and really keeping an ope…

    I wouldn't let the fact that the book is in beta dissuade you from getting it. It's mostly feature complete and is a _fantastic_ resource - it really helped get Ash to click for me…

    While DHH is the face of Rails, I’d say Shopify are the real stewards of the framework these days.

    Yes, unfortunately that is the big weakness of LiveView. It also suffers from what I call the elevator problem, where LiveView apps are unusable with unstable connections and flat …
