Elixir in Action by

really does a fantastic job at explaining how Elixir works. Not just syntactically but also under the hood. I especially found it interesting to learn how Elixir handles immutability through the use of shallow copying. 🤔

My initial design for StartupBuddy A.I. It's heavily based off Brand Domains since I'm not really a designer and it's easier to just steal from previous projects instead of trying new things out. But let's just say it's for uniformity across my projects 👀

Just rented a new hobby box with an AMD EPYC 9454P (48 cores!!!) / 256GB RAM / 2TB dedicated server from Hetzner for ~$220/month (+ $80 setup fee). It was ready in just a couple of minutes. An absurd amount of performance for the money.

Not sure if it would've been an issue but from what I understand Svelte batches updates so just to be sure I'll wait for all forms to be closed first before opening the form.

The reason for reusing IDs is that the same question will be asked in the different HTML forms and if you save your answer once it will be updated in all the other forms. Plus it's easier to work with on the backend. Over engineered? Maybe.
