Elixir Conf ® 2018
I just registered for the ElixirConf 2018®. See you there!
CSS Variables
If you know me, you know I like to get rid of stuff, to keep things simple. And today I removed sass from my project. Thanks, Lea Verou for this brilliant talk.
The Post JavaScript Apocalypse
One of the best talks about programming languages I’ve seen this year.
Javascript, 23 Years A Nightmare
Yesterday I found this on twitter.
04 Dec, 1995. Published in The Sentinel of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Vim Pro Tip
Touchbar or not, use Ctrl+[ instead of esc
Wow, that is cool! Although I have no touchbar, my caps-lock is configured as Ctrl-key and Ctrl+[ is much less finger moving than using the regular esc key. A big hug for this @tenderlove (vim since the 1980ies and still learning :D) https://t.co/FXCu0pysoJ

Bookshelf
Goodreads
While dedusting my physical bookshelf, I remembered myself to update
my Goodread Account too ;-)
Bucketier, My First hex.pm Contribution
Today, I wrote my first HEX-package and published it on “hex.pm”. It is an extract of my daily work and was part of an “Umbrella-App” initially.
CSS Secrets
Pretty cool talk by Lea Verou
Allen Holub about "Frameworks"
Let's just skip all the frameworks entirely. Learn how to do the work. Learn how to apply inspect and adapt to the work itself. Learn everything (all frameworks + underlying thinking). Build your own process. Nobody excels by following a rigid set of rules by rote.

Make Your Integration Tests More Readable
Inspired by Kat Tornwall’s talk about integration tests with Elixir and Phoenix I did some clean up in my integration tests of my current Elixir project. Look how much more readable they are now.
Stop Writing Unused Code!
“Visual Studio is one of the single largest pieces of software in the world,” he (Chris Granger, a software developer who worked as a lead at Microsoft on Visual Studio) said. “It’s over 55 million lines of code. And one of the things that I found out in this study is more than 98 percent of it is completely irrelevant. All this work had been put into this thing, but it missed the fundamental problems that people faced.
Programmers, Do Proper Craft!
Yesterday (2018-03-20) I attended a seminar on regulations in medical software. It gave me heebie-jeebies because it’s obvious that Uncle Bob’s fears seem to become true: law and government will tell us how to do our profession. And gosh, what they are telling us is to go back 10 years. We should not be that passionate programmer and we should swap the two sides of the Agile Manifesto again. The right side really matters much more for them ;-(
Your Avatar Matters!
Why the f* I have to spread “Why Your Avatar Matters” everytime I join a new environment ;-)
Work’n’Life - Meetups Linz
This week I did attend the kickoff meeting of Work'n'Life (like in Rock'n'Roll) at Factory 300 in Linz. The place (Tabakfabrik Linz) is gorgeous and the talks were impressive and very informative.
