What dev-related stuff have you been up to?

KnowledgeIsPower · 2025-07-17T12:37:50.183Z

Recently I had been looking at Terraform (iac tool).

Currently reading on Design Patterns: Template, Observer, Chain of Responsibility and Composite are done. Next will probably be Strategy, which I keep dreaming about.

Also doing some Ruby and Concurrency stuff just for fun. Interestingly I haven’t touched Elixir for some weeks or maybe months….

Learning (or rather reenforcing) Elixir/OTP concepts with a physical copy of Designing Elixir Systems with OTP on vacation, and excited to try this out in a side project at work soon! I read Elixir in Action (3rd Edition) before, so there’s not so much entirely new, and I’ve been advocating for pure functions in the core of any code we’re writing, but this book ties things together neatly. Makes me more confident for starting out.

Also, participating in the Errata section gives me a new feeling of connectedness to a community (here as well as Elixirforum), and food for thought on all things dev-y!

I’m currently reading “Elixir Patterns” and “Test-Driven Development with Phoenix”.

Recently I reached about building container images without using root or elevated privilege.

This posts are just replies? I can’t understand it right.

For now it’s just a test, probably I’ll delete this later.

Just learning some new skills and working on a few personal projects lately keeping busy and having fun!

conradwt · 2025-11-07T06:43:28.723Z

I’m working adding Grafana + Prometheus to a few of my Phoenix projects. Also, I’m updating all Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifest to follow the pod security specifications.

alvinkatojr · 2025-11-19T13:02:05.697Z

Interesting @KnowledgeIsPower! Have you given Podman a try? I used it briefly before being forced back to Docker land, but it’s serves the exact same purpose that you mentioned.

KnowledgeIsPower · 2025-11-22T01:47:30.027Z

Using podman to build image in laptop / VM as non-root is very common.

But running podman/buildah inside a container/k8s is another story.

I had a wiki page about researching building rootlessly, its in here

Wiki for Cloudnative.Quest

Summary about building containers rootlessly or by proxying

Having a refresher on Phoenix and Ecto while building my own project. Been working with PHP and Laravel for too long

KnowledgeIsPower · 2026-01-01T02:02:13.589Z

Recently I had been testing with various monitoring tools/extensions for PostgreSQL database.

Tools about PGSQL and AWS Aurora (PGSQL compatible)

Working on a multi-tenant SaaS web app using Phoenix LiveView since July 21, 2025.

conradwt · 2026-02-05T08:11:31.806Z

I’m currently in the process of migrating several apps from Phoenix 1.7 to Phoenix 1.8.

Recently I have been searching for MCP servers.

Let me put down two awesome lists in there

Review and define the workflow (aka SKILLs) for agents to make code autonomously

conradwt · 2026-03-16T02:02:57.254Z

I’m also getting up to speed with agent skills. At this time, I’m experimenting with building a test-driven development (TDD) skill.

mortz · 2026-03-16T05:50:25.546Z

After relying on web based AI and resisting AI coding agents, getting started with Opencode (https://opencode.ai/).

toon159 · 2026-03-22T04:21:41.865Z

I’m still learning how to use multi-agent workflow. I use a free model from Opencode zen that is quite slow but good enough, and it give me a nice break while waiting. Using free model let them collect my data to improve their model but it is fair IMO.

conradwt · 2026-03-23T08:22:18.392Z

I’m currently learning how to build agent skills and I’m also getting up to speed with Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK).
