If you’re a fan of the Phoenix web framework, written in Elixir, you’ll know I blog a little about it.
Here is the long overdue second installment in my Elixir/Phoenix Mix Tips series.
As previously covered, you can use the following command to update an Elixir package hosted on package manager Hex:
mix deps.unlock out_of_date_dependency
And you can also use the handy mix deps.outdated to find out which packages require updating.
But what if you would like to clean out your mix.lock file?
Are you a developer or maintainer of an app that uses Twitter’s incredibly useful Sign in with Twitter functionality?
Are you suddenly getting error messages similar to the one below when trying to log in?

A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to take part in Afrotech Fest 2018 at Rich Mix in Shoreditch, London.
Billed as:
A two-day tech festival by and for black people of African and Caribbean heritage.
it was a rather different tech conference experience, and I absolutely loved it!
So excited to announce this.

Last month when I blogged about listening to the speakers at trade organisation Manchester Digital’s eighth Startup Stories event little did I know that I would be speaking at the next.

Ladies that UX is an international community of UX designers, practitioners and experts. It started out as monthly meet up in Manchester in 2013, organised by Lizzie Dyson (@lizziedyson) and Georgie Bottomley (@bottomley_g), both User Experience (UX) professionals, to give, in their own words
“us women somewhere to have a community that understood our interests, work challenges and family commitments”.
It has since expanded into nearly 50 cities around the world and Ladies that UX groups now meet regularly in locations as far apart as Denver, Colorado, Cape Town, South Africa and Tokyo, Japan. There is also an international conference, TalkUX, taking place in its third outing in Taipei, Taiwan later this year.
I love being at the start of something new. Yesterday, in the salubrious settings of the iconic Old Granada Studios in Manchester, a new and potentially significant series of events for the startup community began.
Here come an abridged version of my notes from the very first Founder Insights event. If you were there and spot any inaccuracies or errors, please shout out in the comments.
Hosted by Luke Grimes (@Grimeswastaken), co-founder of cloud software development consultancy Webantic and sponsored by Brabners LLP, a leading law firm in the region, Founder Insights was billed as a “fireside chat with Paul Stacey (@justpaulstacey), founder of event ticketing platform Fatsoma”.
After “a word from our sponsors”, deftly delivered by Jacob O’Brien, head of the Tech, Digital and Creative sector team at Brabners, Luke introduced the event as one, in his words, to “showcase Manchester’s top companies and better understand the journey founders go through”.
I was thrilled to attend the eighth Start Up Stories event put on by Manchester Digital this morning.
