It was luck. I was the beneficiary of greenfield projects built with Elixir that proved their worth to the organization before I started working with them. Onboarding with Elixir as a senior engineer was fun and interesting, most recently

if you describe some of the existing systems you'd like to see ported, explain what they do in abstract terms and maybe someone here can present ways to solve them with Elixir

Why serve APIs using parquet collections as a data source, as compared to a standard RDBMS? What are the pro's and con's?

Most of my learning was by studying existing source and building. Elixir doesn't demand book reading in order to become proficient with it. Just dive in and build something. You'll learn as you go.

Your warning about niche technology is fair, but a Stack Overflow survey is NOT representative of what's going on in the real world. Better, more objective approximations can be gained by reviewing download stats of centralized packag

This makes languages such as Rust a tough sell for startups that can't yet afford $3000 M1 laptops for each Rust developer. Rust has incremental compilation and it helps to make incremental builds faster. You also have to wait for co

It's a shame that Future.com didn't pan out. I could care less what people like Kara Swisher or anyone at The New York Times [1] thinks about technology or the companies changing industries. The only people who seem to write are

I highly recommend studying the Critical Reasoning material associated with the GMAT. The Powerscore workbook was quite valuable.

Would the team consider discussing the architecture of this system? Seems like a whole lot of Rust was used. I'm sure the team has a lot to share.

Lemmy is an engine. The Reddit UI was their first UI, and the PhpBB UI their second. Seems like a Twitter clone UI is completely within the reach of the engine, too.
