Getting more into AI stuff, like LLMs, RAGs, etc.

This week, I’m experimenting with agent within the Zed editor. Also, I’m learning how to write NIFs using Rustler Hex package.

Just wrapped up migrating an old internal tool from jQuery to React-TypeScript. It’s been equal parts satisfying and confusing trying to make sense of the original logic. On the side, I’ve been diving into AWS and Elixir a bit more.

Currently reading on Design Patterns: Template, Observer, Chain of Responsibility and Composite are done. Next will probably be Strategy, which I keep dreaming about.

Also doing some Ruby and Concurrency stuff just for fun. Interestingly I haven’t touched Elixir for some weeks or maybe months….

Learning (or rather reenforcing) Elixir/OTP concepts with a physical copy of Designing Elixir Systems with OTP on vacation, and excited to try this out in a side project at work soon! I read Elixir in Action (3rd Edition) before, so there’s not so much entirely new, and I’ve been advocating for pure functions in the core of any code we’re writing, but this book ties things together neatly. Makes me more confident for starting out.

Also, participating in the Errata section gives me a new feeling of connectedness to a community (here as well as Elixirforum), and food for thought on all things dev-y!

This posts are just replies? I can’t understand it right.

For now it’s just a test, probably I’ll delete this later.

I’m working adding Grafana + Prometheus to a few of my Phoenix projects. Also, I’m updating all Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifest to follow the pod security specifications.

Interesting @KnowledgeIsPower! Have you given Podman a try? I used it briefly before being forced back to Docker land, but it’s serves the exact same purpose that you mentioned.

Using podman to build image in laptop / VM as non-root is very common.

But running podman/buildah inside a container/k8s is another story.

I had a wiki page about researching building rootlessly, its in here

Having a refresher on Phoenix and Ecto while building my own project. Been working with PHP and Laravel for too long :slightly_smiling_face:
