@thejuliams (@turn_io) on building a WhatsApp help desk routing engine at @Alchemy_Conf 💬 GenServer + Dynamic Supervisor to route between chatbots and human operators. Tracks "lease" ownership of conversations. Handles mid-chat handoffs 🔄 Started as "random routing," turned out way more complex. The breakthrough 💡 letting chatbot builders trigger operator routing at decision points—empowering domain experts to decide when humans should step in. 10 devs, 21M chats/year 📊 Link in bio. #AlchemyConf #Elixir #MyElixirLang

What a talk this was, @ZachSDaniel1, thanks so much.
The developer onboarding dilemma: Setup: "Do you want authentication?" → No Setup: "Do you want a database?" → No Setup: "Do you want real-time features?" → No 2 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 "Actually, I need all of those..." @ZachSDaniel1's Igniter solves this by making installers composable and upgradeable. Instead of predicting future needs, you start simple and add complexity incrementally. The demo showing automated dependency management and code changes working with CI? That's the direction all tooling should head. Worth watching for the approach, even if you don't use Elixir. Link in bio! #MyElixirStatus #ElixirLang #AlchemyConf

🧵 What can basketball, fiction writing, game development, and card games teach software teams? @PragTob couldn't code after injuring his arms. So he found new hobbies. The lessons changed everything about how he thinks about development 👇

Day 1 was all about workshops. Day 2? Time for the talks—and what a lineup: @redrapids, @PragTob, @lejboua , @whatyouhide, @hugobarauna, and @sasajuric, thank you! There was still more to share… so Setra became our stage for the night.

Workshops were the perfect way to kick off the week — talks are great, but getting hands-on hits differently. Big thanks to @ZachSDaniel1, @whatyouhide, @sasajuric, @joshprice, and @redrapids for leading the sessions.
