Fredrik talks to Christian Clausen about the many facets of simplicity. The cloud and serverless was supposed to be simpler than running your own hardware, but you easily get stuck trying to select the right message bus, needing to know the intricacies of your chosen cloud provider infrastructure, and the like. You end up building your software aro…

Lars wants a less demanding way to prepare for giving talks, but he doesn't have the time right now. Andreas knows a cheat code for public speaking. Lars uses slides like a blunt instrument. How should you wield your slides? How do you weigh information content against entertainment value? Should you try to reach precisely everyone with your talk? …

Jack describes where Bebop came from and how he built it, and how and why Copilot and other AI tools became integral parts of the workflow. Being aware of the maintenance cost of each decision, keeping things focused, avoiding building yourself into a bloated cor…

What are people talking about when they talk about developer experience? Pretty colors in the terminal? What is worth improving, what is not? Lars has thoughts about all of developer experience, not least the one of Nerves. How flaky do you accept, for how fast? Revealed: why all Andreas' Elm programs are one line long. Also: Why not attend the Øre…

Andreas' place of work ceased to exist. It was mostly a relief. The main worry is about resting and recovering enough before whatever comes next begins. All the learnings about how not to do certain things live on. The right way of doing those things still remains to be learned. Lars is on the other end of the spectrum: beginning completely new thi…

Fredrik paid a visit to Hogia and got the opportunity to talk to Woody Zuill and Martin Lassbo about mob programming, innovation, and keeping an open and curious mind. Mob programming is still new. Every time you say “that can’t work”, you tend to be proven wrong eventually. Try it, for a year or two. You can’t evaluate things after trying it for j…

Lots of nice fixes and additions - Swiftui, fun widgets, and of course lots of question mar…

CRUD - a classic term among supposedly simple web apps. But, not always the right move? Not always all that mappable to the actual problem? Discussed: picking spicy architectures, non-CRUD data storage needs, slovely solutions, dirty refunds, and doing the OAuth dance. Hey, thing happened! Finally: a story where pubsub was reasonable, and some tele…

Embedded is a weird thing. Lars is all Nerves and tries to explain and report from a world where people know part numbers off the top of their heads. The physical device missing is rarely a thing that happens in web development. Embedded-style work can sneak into other areas as well. Without a root file system, everything is a lot more secure. Secu…

Andreas is a man of many hobbies. Interviewing for example. But sometimes, you get strange questions from strange people, end up feeling scared, or start lying just a bit. Then, perhaps, you tell the story of a bug. Perhaps we shouldn't work during the winter? Lars doesn't have interviews. More like sales calls. H§e shares his experiences of how to…

Stories about Ecto quickly redeeming itself, and of what it takes to introduce foreign keys. Some of us are super comfortable referencing the ID. Lars dislikes that Ecto needs to be more complicated because of SQL, but the abstractions do hold. Also: the biggest reason to ever use a ORM! It can be reallynice to come back to one after a tour of plai…

The BeamRadio panel chats all things Gleam with the core team Louis Pilford and Hayleigh Thompson! Gleam's approach to concurrency and its focus on type safety make it an interesting choice for Erlang/Elixir developers looking to leverage the benefits of static typing while maintaining the performance and concurrency model of the BEAM VM. The langu…

Fredrik is joined by Emil Privér and Leandro Ostera for a discussion of the OCaml ecosystem, and making it Saas-ready by building Riot. First of all: OCaml. What is the thing with the language, and how you might get into it coming from other languages? The OCaml community is nice, interested in getting new people in, and pragmatic. And it has a nic…

Fredrik wants to think about long-lived code. Lars is offended, Andreas only a little bit so. Are there other good software development practices out there? Other than the ones focusing on building something quickly? Practices for building software which lives on and is maintained for much longer than we seem to care to admit? Should we remove depe…

The Saint Valentine's peak passed without issue. Andreas had time for semlor. Lars has opinions on semlor, and can imagine many possible improvements. Like having an apple. Or a pizza. Lars has had a nice influx of work, including hardware work using Nerves. Testing and very hackish hot code reloading are both included. Finally, some thoughts on Li…

Andreas tells the story of a old system which suddenly exhibited a new and frightening bug. Lars shares similar experiences of things going wrong in new and novel ways.

GenServers are fun! Andreas gives all the context. Things were learned, knowledge was aquired. You can do so much with GenServers, but make sure you have a good reason. If you don't watch out, this is where concurrency goes to die. Dynamic supervisors, and their children, are thoroughly considered. Also delved into is the mess other ecosystems make…

Every web app starts out fine, the tabula rasa of an unwritten BODY. But sooner or later you need users. And a million other things which live in trees. Also: email. And that layer between the controller and the database where things like fine-grained access control goes. I'd like to have an admin, please. Eventually, web apps grows up. And while a…

The software development industry is very much built for code nerds. It shouldn’t be. Many of us know many people who are really into coding. Not every working developer can, or even should, be though. Doesn't that create kind of a weird gap between professionals who live and breathe code both on and off work, and those who have a more balanced lif…
