Rails at least has upgrade guides and a script that allows you to upgrade the app. It helps to go from one point relase to the next. I also find the Railsdiff web app helpful in comparing changes from one release to another. It's defin

While it's not learning necessarily, I can tell you that on the days where I get to the gym to do some sort of cardio before work, I can obtain and maintain focus all day, especially if I eat light. As another anecdote, my 10-15 minute

These are certainly broad categories you're putting people into. I'm a ruby developer who wears t-shirts and jeans on the regular, have no tattoos, and shave with a Gillette Mach 3 razor (lol). I'm definitely older and more m

I know Elm isn't the same as Haskell, but these points are also used as a selling point for Elm. And more often than not, as with Haskell, the type system makes it possible to refactor a large program with the confidence that all the p

You should use Scott Wlaschin's informative site "F# for Fun and Profit". He has does a good job focusing on using F# for what he calls BLOBAs... boring line of business applications. I think F# would be great for your busine

For me, personally, it was because, until very recently (July 2017) PostgreSQL had CTEs and window functions and MySQL did not. I worked on small/medium size apps so performance wasn't an issue and having these features made my l

Can I ask what company you work for? Sounds like it's interesting work that's actually augmenting people's workflow to be both faster and easier. Seems like it's satisfying work.
