I can relate to this, super happy HOTS is working for you! Always love seeing another fan of the game, it feels criminally like a missed opportunity for Blizzard. As a chronic anxiety/depression patient, I sincerely hope this has helpe

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've not yet finished a decade in the industry, nor ever laid an eye on Elixir before, and this made sense pretty quickly. Great job explaining it all! On a side note, its pretty amazing to see the i

Seconding this. Our team actually decided to implement gRPC + gRPC-gateway in a green-field project at work, as part of an initiative to "PoC" that it could be done and bring us lots of benefits. We got auto-gen'd docs, clien

They've also added a "theory" portion after the practical, which I think is a great way to solidify the concepts scaffolded in building the thing initially. Thank you for your input.

I think its safe to say I'm looking to see if this field is something I'd be interested in pursuing deeper, and get a feel for the types of problems that might or might not put bread on the table should I go further. I have no ide

Thanks a lot. What was the most fun you've had with it so far, if I may ask?

I _super_ appreciate this, thank you for sharing. I've had to deal with a lot of gate-keeping in my career, so its great to interact with people who are so open to invite people in. We could use more with such a positive attitude.

Very heartening to hear. You think some of us tired enterprise/product devs that come from non-traditional (read: didn't study CS) background can make it? Any recommended starting resources? I've heard supposedly good things

There are exceptions, I think, when the boot camp instructors are able and willing to impart significant industry knowledge, war stories, and personal teaching time to students. You don't get this at the vast majority of boot camps (no
