Since people are cloning things, I cloned Kit/Drip and made it my own and added an MCP server, Resend integration, a Stripe webhook and lots of other fun stuff because I can. It's a new day people. github.com/robconery/kolea

The last code I wrote by hand was a sql query, 5 months ago. Fitting. whats yours?

I didn’t vibe code this and it sends email for you while also helping you understand marketing and how to be a good writer. Good vibes here, not slop code. Keep telling me I can’t, because I am, and I know how. kolea.pro

Making this transition this week. It’s so much better though I will say it can be super confusing moving between machines and phone etc.

This is the 5th post I’ve seen like this. Streisand effect incoming.

Sounds lovely. Here’s a great resume you can ignore genx.boo

Got my first callback based on my new resume format. You're welcome to steal it if you're an old person like me... genx.boo/

Think I'm going to adopt this as my resume so when I don't get callbacks (which I never do) I can at least think I know the reason why genx.boo

This reminds me of a conference talk I gave discussing Elixir's "speed". I showed the "benchmark" for writing 100,000 records to postgres with a single query process, which was OK. I then fanned out 10 processes that chunked the job into 10 batches of 10,000 writes, and then 100 batches of 1000 writes, completely pinning Postgres' 100 connection limit. I do wonder what this would look like in the hands of a capable Elixir/OTP person. Perhaps it was and I'm completely wrong (would love to know!). And I'm not trying to throw shade - my entire point is simply that you shouldn't choose a language/platform because of "speed". There are so many tradeoffs here.

It's interesting reading all this back and forth about Elixir and Rust and system design. It is so tempting to think that you could have Claude and that you can just build a resilient system because you're using a fast language or bullet proof frameworks like OTP. But with those things come many footguns. I have used Elixir for years, and I would never assume that Claude will get this right. Benchmarks will not cover the crazy landmines that distributed, concurrent programming offer. If anything, Claude makes it *easier* for you to screw yourself into a corner. I'm in the middle of this right now, trying to optimize fast network sends + resilience + write speed (Postgres) while avoiding write locks, fail locks, and complete failure because things are either moving too fast or too slow. This isn't something you can trust Claude with... honestly I barely trust myself!

Finalllyy got around to updating and upgrading my dear friend Moebius, an Elixir data access library. I revved to v5 and ripped out Postgrex I favor of a driver that’s > 1.0 to keep things from breaking. And doubled the test surface, and picked up some speed along the way. github.com/robconery/moebius

It’s bonkers how useless Siri is, even with the AI stuff plugged in. All my normy friends are using Claude and ChatGPT and ignoring Siri completely. Slow, buggy, weird is the best I can describe it.

In other words: invest in Nike

I wonder if you could bake productivity hacks into an OS like @OmarchyLinux. A full PARA file system, for example, just to help organize things in a sane way. Yes, I know that Arch has it's Linux structure but maybe ~ could have something productivity-focused? That would turn HOME into a PKM of sorts. What do you think @dhh? Calendars, tasks, all kinds of groovy stuff backed into a beautiful system...
