Louis and I were invited to talk about all things Gleam on the BeamRadio podcast! We speak about Gleam’s development history, its design philosophy, some lustre things, and weirdly a little bit of elm 😵💫
Go check it out and make it popular so they invite us back again 💕💕

I havent listened to it so dont tell me if its awful
But do tell me how much elm they left in
south jewel
Nah you did great
I will say there’s a noticeable difference in yours and Louis’ mic quality 😂

I lost my airpods in germany so what youre hearing is “mac studio built in mic”
Im surprised you could hear me at all
south jewel
Oh no poor AirPods 😦

Im surprised you could hear me at all
Nah aside from a bit of grain & echo it’s still perfectly intelligible
Honestly it’s better than one of the hosts LOL
hearty heron

What’s happening in Chattanooga that’s my neck of the woods

Would it help if I say my company went into "stealth mode" for a bit. (to restructure funding channels if you want)

I was surprised they didn’t all have podcaster setups tbh
Surely buying all the gear is half the point

if you buy a nice microphone it is your moral duty to do podcasting

this is why i get my microphones for free every time i change jobs
so that i don't have to start a podcast

My dumbass bought a proper microphone (RØDE NT1-A) and all I used it for was Discord calls with my friends
I must also have something wrong with my setup because it doesn't even sound that good 💀

it's all fun and games until you realise your computer is still using your webcam built-in mic
happens to me daily since my mac likes to play hot potato with my audio inputs

It's definitely the right audio source but I think somethings up with my audio interface tbh

anxiety inducing since everytime I get a "you're on mute" I have to quickly assess 5~6 audio sources

south jewel
again, i just recorded a podcast episode with my _desktop computer's mic_
yeah and it was fine
chilly robin
in retrospect its incredibly impressive the mac studio even has a built in mic
apple got my back
south jewel
doesnt it basically have an iphone inside of it lol
chilly robin
oh actually maybe it was the display that has the mic
ah thats less impressive then
but still very handy 😂

on the discussion on elm, ffi, and escape hatches:
I remember a long time ago when I was still getting started in frontend, I had interest in elm but never got into it. It felt like a lot to learn. besides, at the time all the jobs were react. And as a beginner I thought if I were to invest time into something I should focus with one instead of spreading too thin, and never looked back
gleam OTOH was quick to pick up. Once I figured out how to get a devserver running, it was smooth sailing. I actually didn't even read the entire language tour before typing away to make n-sided-lucy (and another app i'm still working on)
Also, I approach development with "make it work first, then make it right, then make it fast." When it comes to the browser I already know the way to make it work in js. Sure I won't enjoy it, but at least I know how to make it work. Without an escape hatch, I have to stop what I'm doing and take time to figure out what the "right" way is, but at that point i don't even know if there's a possible right way (yet). And one major part to making something right, is making it work. So yes, ffi is very important to me!
For the longest time i wanted a better dx than typescript. something with a sound type system and good fp ergonomics. gleam hits the sweet spot

Ooh pricey. I don’t think my company will pay for something that’s not Rust or AWS

Was making numbers yersterday and I could make it work on a $ perspective, just not sure on the dates.
But they're still accepting talks 👀
