  1. Hello, and welcome (Post#0) Sep 16, 2025

    Andi Altendorfer

    I’m so incredibly happy to finally have my own little corner of the internet. For a long time, I’ve wanted a space where I could share my thoughts, projects, and whatever else comes to mind, without the distractions of social media. After a lot of tinkering, I’ve built this blog using Hugo, and I couldn’t be more excited to start publishing here.

    This is a space for me to write freely and connect with a community that shares similar interests. I’m glad you’ve stopped by, and I hope you’ll stick around. You can expect to find posts on [Your topics here, e.g., web development, hiking, creative writing], but really, it’s just a place for whatever new ideas I have.

    Phoenix’s DaisyUI Facelift News includes Phoenix adding DaisyUI, Erlang/OTP 28.0-rc2 with priority messages, LiveViewPortal for embedding LiveView in any website, upcoming Elixir improvements to double dependency compilation sp… podcast.thinkingelixir.com

  5. Slow code? Apr 19, 2025

    On our servers, a lot of routine jobs run on the first of every month. Today, monitoring the log files feels particularly slow. Maybe it’s because it’s not just the first of the month, but also the start of a new quarter?
