Mike Hostetler on Jido v3

Mike Hostetler, creator of Jido and ReqLLM, is back for round three. Jido 2.0 hit the top of Hacker News and took his docs server down with it, and Jido v3 betas are already on Hex. We get into agentic back pressure, why models write better declarative Elixir, why most actors don't need an LLM at all, durable workflows with Jido Flow, and the multiplayer harness he's building on OTP.Plus Grok Bots and personal agents, reverse engineering bad IoT apps, and live questions from chat.00:00 - Introduction02:56 - The Jido 2.0 launch and a Hacker News hug of death06:27 - Lessons from Ralph Wiggum loops08:51 - Why models write better Elixir11:44 - Agentic back pressure14:22 - Jido v3's Spark DSL20:48 - When do you need 10,000 agents?26:28 - Q&A: A public actor mesh?27:59 - Actors vs agents: Jido without an LLM30:38 - Halo 2 NPCs and classical AI33:36 - What's new in Jido v335:03 - Durable workflows with Runic and Jido Flow39:34 - Property and fuzz testing with agents42:27 - Who's building on Jido44:27 - Q&A: TermUI and the Jido harness48:28 - DASP, the Durable Actor Session Protocol50:39 - Q&A: Pods, topologies, and the signal bus55:01 - Grok Bots, Dots, and personal agents57:20 - Reverse engineering IoT apps with an LLM1:06:24 - LLMDB and LLM Catalog1:07:51 - 600 PRs a month and vibe coded PRs1:12:12 - The Founder Playbook skills repo1:14:37 - Teaching and community after LLMs1:17:31 - Will AI replace engineers?1:22:57 - A hard lesson migrating Killswitch data1:25:01 - What's next for Jido and the harnessResources Mentioned:- Jido: https://jido.run/?utm_source=elixir-mentor- Runic: https://github.com/zblanco/runic?utm_source=elixir-mentor- LLM Catalog: https://llmcatalog.dev/?utm_source=elixir-mentor- Founder Playbook: https://github.com/getagentseal/founder-playbook?utm_source=elixir-mentor- Killswitch: https://killswitch.app/?utm_source=elixir-mentorConnect with Mike:- X: https://x.com/mikehostetler?utm_source=elixir-mentor- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikehostetler?utm_source=elixir-mentorSponsors:- BEAMOps: https://beamops.co.uk/?utm_source=elixir-mentor- Paraxial.io: https://paraxial.io/?utm_source=elixir-mentor- Jido: https://agentjido.xyz/discord?utm_source=elixir-mentorSUPPORT ELIXIR MENTOR- Elixir Mentor: https://elixirmentor.com/?utm_source=elixir-mentor#ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus #ElixirMentor
