    I love to hear these kind of stories about adopting Elixir. I went through a similar
    arc when I moved from Python/Django, to Node, to Ruby/Rails, and finally to Phoenix/Elixir.

    There's a swing back to RSS right now, which I think is good. But I also think that Evan's
    thoughts here are good. RSS can't be the only solution for how we take in the web. It can't
    be the only solution for how we decentralize the web again.

    A level-headed explanation of what exactly AI, ML, and LLMs are. "LLMs are really complex markov
    chains; but the really complex part makes them qualitatively different" has been by go-to
    explanation of LLMs. I disagree, however, with the idea that LLMs "understand" anything. LLMs
    contain big statistical models of sentence and paragraph structure, and of the relationship
    between words and phrases. This allows them to generate text that is more of a statistical match
    for text written by humans. That humans see this as "understanding" is a form of pareidolia.

    This distinction is narrow, but important.

  summary: >
    Leandro argues that the key to writing readable code is taking implicit context
    and making it explicit. I agree!

    This is also one reason I love Elixir. Many of the design choices in the language
    and standard library encourage you to explicitly write what you mean-- even if it
    is more keystrokes.

  summary: >
    A brilliant lens for thinking about our relationship with tech products, design,
    and terms of use. Opt-out "consent" isn't consent at all. "Maybe Later" isn't
    consent either.
