Andrea Leopardi decided to build a big feature using only AI-produced code to learn what the process would look like. He wrote up the experience: the many rounds of adversarial review, the bugs, and what he learned.
Could AI make finding security vulnerabilities easier at scale? Peter Ullrich put that to the test, pointing Claude at popular Elixir and Hex packages. He found real issues, then worked with the EEF and maintainers to report them responsibly.
A GenServer handles one message at a time, so a slow HTTP call in a callback blocks other callers. Ntwali Heritier hit this bottleneck, and shows how to use Task.Supervisor.async_nolink to move the slow work out so the GenServer stays responsive.
Drowning in data? Honeybadger gives you Just Enough APM™ without enterprise bloat or cost, so you can find and fix Elixir issues before users notice. Explore dashboards now.
Ben Reinhart argues that you don't need a third-party SDK every time you integrate an LLM's API. He makes the case for wrapping the HTTP API yourself with Req instead, with examples for standard and streaming requests, plus cancellation.
When you integrate with an external service, its model can leak into yours. Pieter Claerhout shares a solution from DDD, the anti-corruption layer pattern, and shows an example of how to implement it with Elixir idioms.
People keep piling on Kubernetes, service meshes, and Redis to solve problems the BEAM already handles. Christian Koch and Jeremy Searls show how much Elixir gives you out of the box, and how you can leverage it.
