@bitcapulet am I currently learning about “turning can’t into can” from a past version of you right now? Does that ring a bell?

The Pragmatic Programmers

Happy to announce a small but meaningful upgrade to CheckerCab for anyone that is using it to compare map-like structures in their Elixir tests.

Version 1.3.0 allows you to implement the comparison logic for specific data types so that things like `Decimal.new(1)` and `Decimal.new("1.00") are the same (if you implement the protocol for Decimal, sample in the docs). I hope people find this helpful.

Thanks to Ryan Spore and Lee Marlow for help

I had gotten this awesome vintage light for the room we added to the house. But the ceiling slopes and the original base would have looked bad. I could have made a little box to mount it on. Could not cut it down because it needs space for the wiring. So my brother @idlehands designed an exact copy in CAD and put the correct slope on the base. He 3D printed it and voila. Looks exactly right!

Hey folks. I wanted to let you all know that I have accepted a position with Mechanical Orchard. I start next week.

Thank you to everyone that helped this post find reach. Y'all showed up for me in a way that I can't believe and I couldn't be more thankful.

Hi! I'm currently looking for work as a principal (or equivalent) software engineer and could use your help. If your company or someone you know is hiring, please put us in touch. Or just repost to help expand my reach. My info: https://idlehands.dev

Ideally it's Elixir, but I'm open to other languages for the right team and company culture. I'm open to full time employment or short contracts.

Thanks!

#ElixirConf2023 tip: if you liked a talk, go up to the presenter(s) afterward and tell them. Way, way more people appreciate a talk than actually say anything. You’ll make their day.

Ooh! The Programming Phoenix LiveView book just got updated for Phoenix 1.7.7 and LiveView 0.19.

I really appreciate all the work that @redrapids and Sophie DeBenedetto have put into this book. 🙏
