We all learn that :kill is the untrappable signal. But Klemens Lukaszczyk found that's not the whole story. He digs into why exit(:kill) can actually be trapped while Process.exit(pid, :kill) can't, and what the runtime quietly does with the reason in between.

A bunch of browser features only work over HTTPS, like camera and mic access. Bryan Susanto hit this limitation when building his app, so he reached for mkcert, which installs a local certificate authority so the cert is trusted. He shows how to wire it into a local Phoenix app.
