220: The EEF Has Your Regulatory Back
News includes the archiving of the “Phoenix Sync” project, a major update to Gettext that enhances compilation efficiency, the release of ErrorTracker v0.2.6 with new features like error pruning and ignoring, and José Valim highlighting UX issues with ChatGPT's new UI. We were also joined by Alistair Woodman, a board member of the EEF (Erlang Ecosystem Foundation), who explained the EEF's recent efforts to stay ahead of legislation and technical regulatory shifts that may impact developers soon. Alistair discussed the changing regulatory landscape in the US and the EU due to high-profile exploits, outages, and nation-state supply chain attacks. We learned how the EEF supports Elixir and BEAM developers and what they need from the community now, and more!
