A fact-check of a viral infographic ranking 15 companies by valuation for using Elixir found that 9 rows verify as current, 3 are aging, 1 is stale, and 2 are unsupported.

Edy, a software engineer with 14+ years of experience at Google and Pinterest, created CodeCrab, a local-first desktop app for AI-powered code reviews. The tool prioritizes privacy by processing code locally rather than uploading to servers, and integrates with existing AI subscriptions like Claude Code without additional fees. CodeCrab is in public beta and seeks user feedback for refinement.
