Iโ€™m looking forward to speaking at @ElixirConfUY in Uruguay! #myelixirstatus
Itโ€™s time for @laut ๐ŸŽ‰ With his โ€œMake your life easier with the date and time types in Elixirโ€, heโ€™ll cover when to use which date and time types, how these types work in #Elixir, and how they align with database types and Ecto. #MyElixirStatus #ElixirConf

Touch screens replacing buttons in cars makes for a terrible user experience and is dangerous too. A dangerous fad. Design is about how it works. Not how it looks.

Door handles are superior to door knobs. Much easier to open. Whatโ€™s the point of door knobs? Are they cheaper to make? The only advantage I can see is that belt loops are less likely to be caught in them. #doorhandletwitter

IYI bureaucrats opposed to masks used (bogus) arguments abt the protection of the wearer ("not perfect", etc.) They didn't think that since it ALSO prevents (more effectively) ASYMPTOMATIC sick pple from spreading it, there wd be yuuge systemic effect. PS: @WHO is a fraud.
