Would be great for reviving LiveView Native. Perhaps Dockyard / Brian Carderella might be interested.
taatparya··on What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
Ecto in Elixir has a decent balance and is nice to use though Elixir doesn't have objects, but the abstraction layer is handy.
taatparya··on Slop is not necessarily the future
I believe this will inevitably happen due to this reason - economic.

And property testing is going to be an important way to validate.

taatparya··on When AI writes the software, who verifies it?
Property testing could've helped
taatparya··on Python React to Elixir Phoenix Migration Breakdown
Looks like you refactored a resume driven development project.

Nevertheless, the results look quite good.

Does it include support for Ash framework?
taatparya··on Latest Release of Torus – OLI's LMS Written in Elixir
Torus's latest release is now 0.30.0 - development is steady and there have been continuous releases.
taatparya··on Ask HN: Is anyone experiencing "AI brain rot?"
Think what AI will do to junior programmers. Recent discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43444058
taatparya··on Ask HN: How should junior programmers use and/or not use AI for programming?
The spirit of the original is intact.

However, usually the bad result is not affecting immediately and in the meantime the apprentice undergoes a lot of anti-learning before this becomes apparent. And the learning muscles have atrophied.

taatparya··on Ask HN: How should junior programmers use and/or not use AI for programming?
That is an important catalyst aggregating the problem. Juniors are reading less code, mostly generating and then AI code produced dissuades them from reading code even more and the skills take a bit even more.
taatparya··on Ask HN: How should junior programmers use and/or not use AI for programming?
If you could elaborate a bit with why do you feel that way, it would help me glean some insight after comparing with the experience at my workplace. We face double challenge because English is not our first language.
taatparya··on Ask HN: How should junior programmers use and/or not use AI for programming?
Is there some tool or way of guiding junior devs to make the best use of AI, perhaps monitoring their prompts? Or somehow to intervene and coax them into using better prompts according to their level and experience. Perhaps make AI respond differently to people with different profiles.
taatparya··on Ask HN: How should junior programmers use and/or not use AI for programming?
Am also concerned about mentoring and community ecosystems languishing and the social connection wilting.
taatparya··on Merry Christmas Everyone
At our company, we celebrated Christmas today exchanging gifts despite not having a single Christian person in our staff.

One of the junior introverted female developer was coaxed into being the Santa for gift distribution. She really shines as Santa and thoroughly enjoyed it. What's more, she even coaxed others to dance while accepting the gift and everybody has a good time.

My most memorable so far.

First three minutes are promotion you might like to skip because if you are viewing this, you should already be able to work with Phoenix.
taatparya··on Ask HN: Why is multi-seat not available out of the box for Linux?
Not just terminal but the full desktop experience.
taatparya··on Post-Open Source
Perhaps limiting use by companies or individuals with income less than one million dollars directly or indirectly would help.
taatparya··on Post-Open Source
Can't the use be limited to companies or individuals with income / revenue less than a certain amount, say USD one million, directly and / or indirectly.
taatparya··on Absolute truths I unlearned as junior developer

taatparya··on Ask HN: Why is multi-seat out of the box is taking forever to arrive in Linux?
People used to Windows are just like beginners for Linux. It is difficult to empathise with a beginner but there are just too many versions, different for single card, multiple cards, X, gdm, xephyr etc., making it abstruse.
taatparya··on Ask HN: Why is multi-seat out of the box is taking forever to arrive in Linux?
Any ideas how can I influence the development. I know at least a dozen IT and school people who want this and I might be able to mobilize even more.

People who want to see Linux on the desktop may be more interested to see this happen.

taatparya··on Ask HN: Why is multi-seat out of the box is taking forever to arrive in Linux?
Actually, want to use multi-cores which are so prevalent today - you can run Netbeans IDE for Java / PHP / JavaScript on them with good memory which I don't thinks SoCs can handle. I need much more CPU than SoCs but will be happy with a single / two core(s). Four to six developers would then be able to use a single machine with decent RAM with dramatically reduced maintenance.
taatparya··on Ask HN: Why is multi-seat out of the box is taking forever to arrive in Linux?
I think it should be a no-brainer e.g. Aster for Windows 7 and 10. It is plug and play with a simple GUI configuration step. The instructions you have mentioned are more than three years old.

Unless it is easily available, it is not going to be used. As soon as you get into desktop terminals, there is dependency on an outside vendor which then becomes a vendor lock.

taatparya··on Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?
- FLAVOR: [Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Core]

- HEADLINE: Multi-Seat and Multi-Head Out of the Box

- DESCRIPTION: It would be a great way to cut costs if a single machine could support multiple workstations like SoftXpand does for Windows 7, out of the box without requiring an expert to configure. Though currently possible, it seems to be requiring a lot of configuration.

In developing countries e.g. India where I live and work, people might not come or vote and contribute for such features but this will be a huge step towards making Linux available to many more children at school and home and more hands at work. For schools, this could make computers available for a single computer making computing available for 4-8 children after installing some additional graphics cards. Being in the e-learning Industry, I see this could give a lot of momentum to computer literacy in schools.

This could be a huge maintenance and energy saver at the workplace at will. Now that almost all cards nowadays contain multi-heads, just installing an additional card could make a single computer server upto four workstations.
