(McKenna tangent). I like this version of that talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL0yfxDe6jE . It's about 12 minutes and animated with some hand-drawn whiteboard drawings. Good stuff.

Great link. I've always been drawn to sqlite3 just from a simplicity and operational point of view. And with tools like "make it easy to replcate" Litestream and "make it easy to use" sqlite-utils, it just becomes

Thanks for the reply. Summary: Here's this really cool thing we're doing! Oh, are you wrote something exotic for it? Nope, just regular Erlang goodness that's been around 20 years.

(Disclaimer: Newbie checking but still curious). Are you using libluster or Distributed Erlang to reach the clusters? Or just simple networking over the Fly network. > That will find or place an Elixir process on the cluster and rpc th

If you look at Elixir keynote for Phoenix.new -- a cool agentic coding tool -- you'll see some hints about a browser control using a API tool call. It's called "web" in the video. Video: https://youtu.be&#x2

Interesting project. I'm glad Vue is getting the same attention as the Svelte one. And props for digging in to optimize the payloads, and making it diff-able. Can you just drop existing Vue components in there? Or are their LiveVue

You may want to consider Elixir instead. It has an easier syntax and is (don't quote me on this) equivalent in function and purpose with Erlang. Plus you get lots of other goodies like LiveView (notebooks) and a good web stack (Phoen

For people wanting to dig into this idea some more, I'd recommend the book by Austin Kleon called "Steal Like An Artist." Also, there is some nuance in the book about copying and stealing, without being a thief.

To state the obvious (again), it's shocking the rate of progress is with these tools. If this is 2 years of progress, what does 10-20 look like?

Totally agree. A general-purpose solution that ties together different messy interfaces will win in the long run -- i.e the IP protocol, copy-paste, browsers. In these cases, they provide a single-way for different aspects of computing to

Oh, that's nice! One of my jobs -- a Ruby on Rails job at that -- was a top 50 small business in Fortune 500. It really is transformative when you work for a great company.

Your description kind of reminds me of this post -- "Being Glue". https://noidea.dog/glue . It's an important "pseudo" role that doesn't get enough credit, IMO.
