Today #doauth has issued its first credential in testing...

Big things are coming!

#myelixirstatus #ecto #elixir

My only "grudge" against Ecto is that the docs suggest using :string in migrations, and then this happens.

#ecto #myelixirstatus

Because you can't go far without json.

#doauth

Sunday evening #doauth programming.

I think I'm gonna write my next post about this piece of code.

#myelixirstatus #ecto

My Sunday Feeling

#doauth

My very first #ecto validator.

At first I was kind of repelled by the notion of validators in ecto because, as Alexis King teaches us mere mortals, "parse, not validate".

But then I realised that ecto validators don't discard error / success information (see xor_mark_as_required and xor_insert_errors). So I am content.

#elixir #myelixirstatus

Oh yeah, baby, nice UX to insert stuff into the database.

Important bit is that we just supplied PK as a string and we let Ecto figure out how to fetch it...

I wish there was a cache layer so that I don't have to query stuff every time I make a changeset...

#doauth #myelixirstatus

There isn't much that is similar to a pure joy of using new technology for the first time.

My first insert into an #ecto-powered #pgsql:

#myelixirstatus #postgresql

Write good commit messages.

Had to look up a hint for "the Goat Puzzle".
So embarrassed, I think I could've solved it, since I've spotted the main element of the puzzle myself.

A huge milestone for #doauth.

The architecture and data flow spec is encoded in #SQL.

While thinking about a way for #doauth users to control their identity, disclosing nothing by default AND high availability / replication, I came up with the notion of disclosure event logs.

After just a little bit of tinkering with the definition, it turned out that it's getting modelled with existing approach to credentials / claims really well.

I love that immediate positive feedback on design and architecture.

https://doma.dev/blog is live for 25 days. Here is a rough distribution of visitors by country.

(Thanks, @plausible!)

"asphalt... and trouble"

I'm really bummed out by the fact that #elixir doesn't come with a property-based test engine.

Since propex is unstable right now, I write plain stupid unit tests and hate every moment of this bullshit.

#myelixirstatus #elixir #doauth

URI implementation: one of the few reasons why you might want to have optional values.

#doauth #did

Asked my first question on W3 IRC!

#doauth #did #vc

Basically dependent types, amirite? #elixir #myelixirstatus

Work slack has some interesting guests today.
