Both missions accomplished!

Brain's still buzzing after a fantastic #ElixirConfEU event last week. I enjoyed the talks and the talking. I didn't manage to chat to every person that I wanted to but that's OK.

Huge thanks to the organizers, speakers and the amazing #ElixirLang community!

This is a bit of an emotional takeaway from #elixirconfeu for me. I met Joe Armstrong (co-creator of Erlang and the Erlang virtual machine) some years ago at a conference.

He was such a curious, witty and friendly person.

Yesterday I complained that “someone put math in my programming” when this slide came up at #ElixirConfEU

@federicomena replied: “Esa diapositiva no tiene el estilo de LaTeX beamer? No puede ser buena señal ”

Which means: “doesn’t that slide have LaTeX Beamer styling? That can’t be a good sign”

To which I replied: “Oye chico! Las mías también son de Beamer!” ie “hey dude, mine are also from Beamer”

Toilet situation at #ElixirConfEU is very confusing.

Outer door: “gender neutral restroom”. Ok. Hallway. To the right, door with accessibility symbol. To the left, an alcove. Ahead, an open door with no writing.

Turns out that if you close the open door, it has the men symbol.

And if you walk past the alcove, then turn 180° and look backwards, there’s a door in there labeled “gender neutral”.

I joked to Johanna Larsson “not sure if there’s a women’s room for all 6 of us.”

*sigh* this talk is really heavy on code on the slides, in dark mode. The background might be black on the laptop screen, but it’s medium grey on the projector screen. Any medium-dark or dark text is invisible, and this syntax highlighting uses aubergine.

Unless the conference hall is actually pitch black except for the projector, this problem will always happen. I code in dark mode in real life, but my slides have a light background _for a reason_.

Whaaaaaat

Hello from Krakow, where #ElixirConfEU is taking place today and tomorrow.

I’ll be speaking around noon tomorrow, about the time ignoring what I was taught and embracing Elixir’s strengths solved a database problem.

Elixir + Rust =

At ElixirConf EU , @algo_luca & Łukasz Pauszek will run a hands-on workshop on Interfacing Rust in Elixir, covering Rustler, NIFs & concurrency. If you're an Elixir dev curious about Rust, don’t miss it! Mark your calendar, May 14, 2025 in Kraków, Poland!

I'm planning to submit talk proposals to @ElixirConfEU but, as always, I don't know what to submit because I want to talk about everything, all the time, all at once, always, forever.

Send help. Could you tell me if there's anything specific you'd like me to talk about?

I had a lovely time. Thanks to everyone who contributed to that. #elixir #ElixirConfEU

My ElixirConf EU talk is up and to save you a ton of time I will point you all at the best part which starts here: https://youtu.be/K51fj1JGQEY?t=1579

This is me trying to advance slides using machine learning. Worrying results.

I finally got around to writing up my time at #elixirconfeu https://www.tommyp.org/blog/elixirconf-2023

I wrote up my conference experience at the delightful ElixirConf EU 2023 in Lisbon.
Thanks to everyone who I talked to. It was a blast.
Hope you enjoy.
