When crafting an Elixir program, you often need to share a state. For example, in one of my previous articles I showed how to code a server to perform various calculations and keep the result in...

I thought it would be nice to make a streaming music service focused on bringing lo-fi artists and listeners together. Early on, I put together a series of prototypes to explore with a small group of listeners and artists. Since this is a technical article, I'll jump right into the requirements we arrived at, though I'd love to also do an article on the strategies and principles that guided our exploration.

I'd like to think that my understanding of "async Rust" has increased over the past year or so. I'm 100% onboard with the basic principle: I would like to handle tho...

Techniques and reasons to optimize your code for people, not metrics.

Programmers often need to write data structures to disk or to networks. The data structure then needs to be interpreted as a sequence of bytes. Regarding integer values, most computer systems adopt “little endian” encoding whereas an 8-byte integer is written out using the least significant bytes first. In the Go programming language, you can … Continue reading Writing out large arrays in Go: binary.Write is inefficient for large arrays

There are multiple extensions on VScode Marketplace, and it can be confusing to decide which ones to install. Initally, I went ahead, and installed almost all of them, which of course led to prob...

Thinking in processes is already difficult; writing automated tests for those processes shouldn't make it worse. Elixir provides the necessary tooling to ensure your processes are rock solid. This article explains how to use them.
