Weeknotes 100

28th May, 2023

Well, well. Here we are. 100 weeknotes published. I’ve really enjoyed the process of writing these. Mostly a link blog, occasionally something more personal. But importantly, always once a week.

It might not sound like much of an achievement to some, but for me, 100 instances of consistent effort is a pretty big deal. What is it about this activity that has meant I’ve stuck with it?
Really tempted to order an original Gameboy from Remy 😬

I’m still getting used to HEEx templates, and I was trying to add a disabled attribute to a <.button> component.

If you return a string like this the value is interpolated.
```
<.button type="submit" disabled={"true"}>
```
Like this:
```
<button type="submit" disabled="true">
```
However, it you return a boolean like this:
```
<.button type="submit" disabled={true}>
```
You get a valueless attribute.
```
<button type="submit" disabled>
```
This is what I normally want.

My Erlang woes definitely seem over with as I easily installed the latest Erlang 26.0 and Elixir 1.14.4 released this week.
I’m writing this from Copenhagen where we’re spending a long weekend. So now you know why this week’s notes are shorter than usual 😉
Here’s to one hundred more 🎉
