Definitely been confused by GenStage in the past. This helps a ton! I know it’s more effort, but I wish visual and interactive examples were more prevalent in docs.

Andrew probably doesn’t control what the entire community does

Sounds like you can’t be happy with Gleam or related libs. I’d look into it or use it before calling it “half-baked”.

It’s had it for a long time now: https://gleam-otp.hexdocs.pm/index.html

Yeah, I understand the surface-level reasoning. But to me the risk-to-reward ratio is a bit off. Resumes have very personal info on them. It’s also well known that engineers are wealthy. I could see something like this being used to generat

Cool thread/idea, but kind of weird in the age of LLMs and data scraping. If I wanted to build a database of engineers with really sensitive data, this is how I’d do part of that collection.

I don’t know if replacing Elixir is even one of the top 10 reasons Gleam exists. People don’t usually pick a platform and then pick a language. Many times a language develops into an option by bundling features. In Gleam’s case, they bundle

Wow, the amount of work here and technical solutioning is insane. I don’t have any context here; so I wonder if this is a team or solo. If latter, how do you achieve so much with so many different technologies?

I’ve read probably 100 comments before I stopped. It’s really sad how negative HN has become. I wonder how many of those comments are from people that are really into coffee. Super cool product. Especially interested in the grinder. I recen

Very interested in stuff like this. I think similar “make an interactive bit to embed in an otherwise static site” things are being done in the Gleam ecosystem.

Amazing write up as usual, Erika. Your blog is an inspiration and model of what a tech blog should look like: high-quality info, plain and clear language, and extreme focus.

I disagree. It’s a personal blog :) I want to know what they think. I also stylistically like the directness of “I” and “you”. Not everything needs to be written abstractly, academically, or in business-speak. Also, your comment starts with

Not sure how secure erase works, but I’ve run into this a few times after “erasing”. I think it has something to do with boot records or partition tables. So there’s a piece of some drives (usually at the front) that contains this data. You

Oh, we did stuff like this for disposal. The tricky part is drives we desired to recommission.

We did do some encryption with LUKS, and I’d try to write over boot records, keys, and headers, but I was pessimistic that was enough. Not an encryption expert myself. Always felt that any given encryption tech (be it hardware or software)

Super interested in this and would love to hear about some techniques. Used to work at a HealthTech co. We had an “appliance” that we’d send to doctor offices to integrate with other diagnostic machines on the network. Sometimes we would se

It always amazes me how compact and readable Elixir code can be. I know the examples in article use a high-quality library that takes care of some of the ETS and Plug piping, but the business-level rules seem compact and readable too! :)

Wow, really impressed by all the work, website, and write up being just one contributor!
