craving more Gleam content

but it’s such a new language that I’m starting to resort to straight up reading the stdlib docs

Gleam def hitting a sweet spot between (1) Rust-esque type safety, (2) Golang-esque compile times, and (3) readability

can any functional programmers give me tips on how to be more idiomatically functional?

honestly the biggest thing holding back adoption of alt web frameworks like Phoenix is the lack of good OSS UI kits

shadcn alone is basically a moat for NextJS + Vercel

wanted to use Gleam language so bad

tried it out tho and the ecosystem just isn’t where I want it to be yet

will double back in a few years maybe

Astro JS for the first time today

template -> one-click Vercel deploy -> ezpz

simple email form -> hard asf

ended up biting the bullet and just using a third-party solution

am I missing something?

Rust, Docker, Algolia API, cron job running on Render cloud

There's a podcast episode where Joe Hudson says:

“Joy is the matriarch of a family of emotions and she won’t come into a house where her children aren’t welcome.”

if you constantly resist or avoid all the 'bad' feelings that you don't want to feel (fear, shame, anger, disgust, etc) you'll never feel joy

This is a banger.

Counterintuitive because most people (myself included) knee-jerk do first-order “avoid bad feelings” and lose out on second-order emotional resilience as a result.

Have been using vim for a few years, and neovim for about a year. Switched to https://helix-editor.com/ a couple weeks ago and have been _loving_ it.

IMO its big insight is that navigating code is about quickly jumping to relevant chunks. Searching for symbols, functions, etc is a joy.

Pain to deploy scheduled Rust job in the cloud (not a webserver, just a script I want to run daily)

- compiling for DigitalOcean Ubuntu failed even w/ cross
- Fly scheduled runs don't give true cron functionality

Ended up going with Render cron jobs, but does anyone have a better way to do this?
