There were several things: * The entire model of state with Genservers * Pattern matching made my code unreadable * Libraries that I needed had Erlang documentation I created some pretty gnarly code when pattern matching authorization cooki

Anecdotally, I think Elixir/Erlang are too difficult/esoteric compared to other languages. That makes it hard to come back to after not touching it for a while, which means it'll be incompatible with a lot of devs that use ot

If AI continues to get better it won't just be you who's in trouble. However, keep in mind that these are cherry-picked. If someone just took that output and stuck onto a website, it'd be a pretty horrible website. There&#x27

Anecdotally, ESM has been an absolute nightmare. Packages that aren’t compatible without code changes, having to add extensions to every single import unless we specify a flag (that is now deprecated), challenges with import maps and module

> any valid reason Well, cost, right? Cost is a reason why someone may not want to use a traditional RDBMS. AWS RDS and GCP Cloud SQL aren't exactly the cheapest solutions out there.

Unity has always been an excellent engine in its ideation. Easy to understand, easy to get started with, truly a great onboarding experience. Additionally the ability to use C# can't be understated as, IMO, it's a fantastic match

Tailscale continues to be one of the more impressive services I've ever used. Going to install this on my Apple TV immediately. I often travel and use public Wi-Fi, so this is massively useful as my PC and my laptop are not always on (

I just recently used it and found it significantly more verbose than the AWS provider. Which is unfortunate, because I've actually grown quite fond of GCP.

Why is everyone so angry and skeptical in these comments? I agree the article is operating on old information, but what's going on here?

You should try Halls of Torment. It’s $5 on Steam. It’s a fantastic example of a neat game with a great gameplay loop that has no gambling or in-game store. There’s many examples but this is the one I’m currently playing.

Is the app you built with it heavily dynamic? I'd love to consider HTMX for my team given the sheer volume of React code that we're having to write.

I'm currently using a Steam Deck to play through Diablo IV and it's absolutely amazing how well Diablo IV runs. Once you get it working, it works great. That being said it did take me an unbelievable amount of tinkering to get it

Hey! Cool games! I think mobile is a different beast altogether. A majority of the games I was talking about are on the PC/console market where players tend to have a lot of disposable income and rely on stores (like Steam, Nintendo Sh

This is a great anecdote. There's always so much competition in B2C products that there is always some element of luck. I have to say that although I agree with this example here, I've seen lots of examples of games that, for all

This is a great example! I took a look at the trailer and I think the artstyle and gameplay looks really interesting. I took a closer look at it looks like reviewers at the time had a lot of technical issues. I wonder if those issues are no

Why can't you share it here, on Hacker News, for everyone to see? These games deserve more recognition. Please, I want to be proved wrong here.

Right but in this argument the onus is on you to find a game that should have been successful, but wasn't, due to the sheer volume of good games, not the other way around. You're making the argument that there lots of games that a
