What are you doing to handle replication among nodes? There's still a great reason to reach for Redis for caching and messaging despite using Elixir: when the Application crashes, the state is gone. As for Stripe, some client develop

There's not enough information shared about what metrics people monitor and why. Accurately measuring complex system performance and utilization over time is hard work! Observability platforms such as DataDog and New Relic are very ex

That is true for certain types of work but to the contrary for others. Projects where the risk of doing a poor job is within an acceptable range are those that one ought to give DIY a try. For instance, I've replaced bathroom sink pl

Can you comment on the impact that Elixir has had for your platform? Usually reports of technology decisions are biased towards the positive, so sharing any challenges that you've experienced along the way would be really helpful. Do

Someone who builds a truly novel technology solution involving hundreds of hours of effort gets filtered out of an interview involving contrived scenarios. You may have built the next generation X, but given an array of strings and a fixed

It's not a matter of smarts but grit. Modern society cultivates short attention spans, impatience, and a need for instant gratification. It's really uncomfortable, and costly, for many to spend hundreds of hours cultivating a ne

There's a growing list of projects written in Rust that couldn't benefit by sccache. It would be helpful if people made clear what sccache was not good for so that people can stop spending needless hours re-discovering on their o

There's a very good chance that in whatever language you're using you're not testing remotely close to what you'd need to in order to reach parity with that of the rust compiler. It's very Dunning-Kruger of a devel

Just because Ruby and Python are great doesn't mean that they ought to be used for every project. I love being able to write code that compiles to a single statically-linked executable in Rust that pushed me to write more correct co
