Your coding agent picks Python. That’s popularity, not a recommendation. Bruce Tate explains agent language bias, accuracy benchmarks and choosing a language your agent can write well. Free live: Oct 22, noon ET / 16:00 UTC. grox.io/live #AIEngineering

Bruce (@redrapids) uses AI every day, from family meals to preparing questions for his doctors. The token price still leaves out costs borne by people who never see the invoice. His new guide starts to itemize them. #AIEngineering grox.io/blog/57-read-the-lab…

The code can be committed while the project state disappears. In AI work, prompts, plans, and guidance need a durable home too. grox.io/blog/52-three-source… #AIEngineering

A `MapSet` is not a list with nicer membership syntax. It is a set-shaped API over map-shaped machinery: keys do the work, values disappear. grox.io/blog/55-mapsets-a-se… #ElixirLang

Vibe coding fails when assumptions stay hidden across all three agent inputs: priors, evidence, and correction. Put versions, preferred paths, and fast feedback where the agent can check them. grox.io/blog/54-vibe-coding-…

Generated code can follow your conventions and still miss the domain. Start review at the public API: what does this function promise, and does the domain agree? grox.io/blog/49-reviewing-th… #AIEngineering

Your repository guidance does not share one update rhythm. Keep human-authored process stable, regenerate dependency rules, and point to the project facts that keep moving. grox.io/blog/57-stable-vs-dy… #ElixirLang #AIEngineering

A prompt chain is a program written in English. Keep its units small, its interfaces clean, and its architecture in the source tree. Move forward when you decide to, not when the agent does. grox.io/blog/58-how-vibe-cod… #ElixirLang

Agentic coding is not the problem. Unguided agentic coding is. The agent does not wait, and cheap tokens make it easy to stop steering until the rewrite is already on the calendar. grox.io/blog/54-the-tab-is-c… #ElixirLang #AIEngineering

Tidewave does not make Claude smarter. It makes Claude less dependent on guesses by giving it live access to your app's docs, logs, schemas, SQL, and project context. grox.io/blog/47-installing-t… #ElixirLang

A plain map lets `%{nmae: "Bruce"}` run. A struct can stop that typo before it becomes a downstream bug. Read the blog: grox.io/blog/46-a-struct-is-… #ElixirLang
