waits patiently for elixir jobs
- sahrizv 9y agowaits restlessly for elixir jobs... :) Seriously, left my decently paying Tech Lead job in Bangalore to take a break and work with Elixir/OTP. Would be nice to see an upward trend in Elixir related remote jobs.
- tmat 9y agobest thing those of us championing elixir can do is build apps in elixir that need to be maintained.. the more elixir apps in the wild, the more jobs we can create. my studio is doing all of our greenfield backend work in elixir and we're all very happy with our current stack. haven't been this happy since the early days of rails. elixir and react are a match made in heaven.
- sahrizv 9y agoAgree that's a big way to create more jobs. Currently building for myself, hope to do it for others too in the long run.
- veraxlabs 9y agoI'm thinking of experimenting with Elixir for my project. Ping me and we might be able to work something out. psl [at] veraxlabs [dot] com
- sotojuan 9y agoWith new-ish languages like these, the best thing to do is make your own job :-)
- tmat 9y agoI was kidding that's what we're doing.. I run a studio focusing on elixir, react, and react native. we started as a ruby shop.
- jetti 9y agoYou and me both! I've seen one Elixir job in Chicago and it definitely wasn't remote. I would settle for non-remote Elixir biding time for remote jobs to be available. For the time being, I'm doing my darnedest to try to make a product that could transition into a full time Elixir job for myself.
- tmat 9y agoI love the excitement coming out of the elixir community.. it really shows. can't wait to see what you're working on.. phoenix app or something else? we do straight elixir / plug api with a separate node/react front end.. we also use json-api which has been nice to standardize or json structure.
- jetti 9y agoFor some "quick" money I'm doing a small Phoenix app that is doing CSV processing/formatting and is going to be an adsense page. I'm looking into doing a full blown Elixir/OTP app that handles X12 EDI parsing/validating but we shall see. I'm going to start writing the X12 parser soon and will at least open source that. Edit: I would add I was able to talk a client into allowing me to write their platform in Phoenix and away from the Laravel. So I've been working on that as well.
