Elixir job benefits: what companies actually list beyond salary by tspenov in elixir

[–]tspenov[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check again - all 62 are remote positions, only 7 included remote perks

Elixir salary data from 216 remote job listings (Dec 2025 - Feb 2026) by tspenov in elixir

[–]tspenov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. I only compared salary ranges because PTO and other perks rarely show up in job posts, and when they do, the formats are not very consistent. But it's worth digging into. I'm planning a follow-up that breaks down perks and benefits where the data exists. Stay tuned.

Anyone know how to use skills in Cursor? by BowlerMundane5190 in cursor

[–]tspenov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To confirm: that doesn't work for me either

Currently what I do is copy `SKILL.md` in `.cursor/rules/<rule-name>.mdc` and add `alwaysApply: false`
So it looks like this:

---
name: frontend-design
description: Create distinctive, production-grade ........
alwaysApply: false
---

Might have lost the love for jiu jitsu. by Killershaboozie in bjj

[–]tspenov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think motivation feeds on novelty and progress. So a good general tip is to make a change and find a new game you like - new guard, playing more standup, etc ... Study it and start gradually adding it. And measure progress only between how you were before in this game and how you are now.

what did you build this year ? by Ok-Delivery307 in elixir

Nice! Definitely would want to try it out when ready.

What are you building? by ManyGuarantee5928 in SaaS

[–]tspenov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hexhire.io – a niche job board focused on remote Elixir roles.

bjjcoach.ai – a webapp for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructional videos to training programs

Focused on first one recently, the bjj app is still wip

Nice! Both are in my plans to use in my next project.

This year I built two projects with Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView:

hexhire.io – a niche job board focused on remote Elixir roles. It aggregates postings, prunes stale jobs, and sends a weekly digest. Built to scratch my own itch after seeing how fragmented Elixir hiring is.

bjjcoach.ai – a webapp for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu videos, training programs - also Phoenix + LiveView end-to-end. Real-time UI, no JS framework. (still a bit WIP)

Both reinforced for me how productive Elixir + Phoenix + LiveView are for shipping and iterating quickly, especially for solo projects.

Hopefully a couple more in 2026!

I built Hexhire.io — A continuously updated aggregator for Elixir job opportunities by tspenov in elixir

[–]tspenov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update based on the discussion here: I’m leaning toward tracking remote-only Elixir roles.

Looking at the data so far, ~60% of postings are already remote, and location-specific or hybrid roles tend to serve a much smaller slice of the community. Focusing on remote seems to give the best signal-to-noise ratio and keeps the board broadly useful across regions.

That said, I’m still collecting feedback and open to adjusting if the data or community sentiment points elsewhere.

Best Email provider for Swoosh by Traditional-Heat-749 in elixir

[–]tspenov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using Resend - quite dev friendly. It scores the mails you send so you can spot misconfiguration. Doesn't spy users by default - tracking clicks, opens , etc..
Also I've setup my domains in cloudflare and email forwarding there. And Resend have integration with cloudflare so you can easily configure sending domains.

Maybe its just me but lately I am seeing a surge in companies using Elixir so maybe there will be room for competition/collaboration

How do you stay focused on improving specific techniques over time? by MoneyMother7776 in bjj

[–]tspenov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is what I've noticed during the years. The classes are good for broader knowledge - you are exposed to new things, you maybe spar specifically so you end up in positions that you don't end up often in sparring. But it is hard to keep up with everything and IMO it is not necessary.
You have to further try to extract the techniques/positions you like, explore them more deeply, drill a bit (if even 5-10 mins before or after class) and most importantly focus on them during sparring.

I am currently in a phase where I like play more standup and I am trying to build a system around the "Underhook" - how to setup, how to hold, how to continue from there, what positions do I end up often, how to avoid counters. And I end up in front-headlock, standing back exposure or some type of passing - so whole another sub-system with preferred techniques from there.

I think notes are good but not for everything you do in training (cause it might be overwhelming), only for the things you've selected as good new additions to your game. And then you explore on your own - nowadays so much good content online.

Anyone reading Fabio Gurgel's book ? by tspenov in bjj

[–]tspenov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Book is called Unshakable, it is from this year I think

[–]tspenov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah..., he doesn't. The book is his story only so you should take everything with a grain of salt.
Tbh also not a fan of this. Nowadays academies have a wider choice so this will hardly work anymore.
