Seconding this - the push was amazing for me without a big music background, as chord exploration became shape based, instead of needing piano knowledge.

In my experience, Elixir (I haven't used Erlang much, so can't comment on that too) is the first language that removed async concerns. With the lightweight thread approach and message passing, things can get "embarrassingly p

Time to get even more detailed :) The article describes the opposite of what you did - grain usually aligns perpendicular to machine direction. After a quick search it looks like this is because of the Fourdrinier process commonly used, w

Personal anecdote: LiveView is absurd. It's the biggest change I've experienced in web development since Rails v1. I've been able to build rich, interactive, games without a single line of Javascript. It takes complicated s

Thanks. From context I'm guessing that you exist in a wider organisation, and Slack was a pre-made decision that you have adapted to? (And I like your approaches for doing that)

I appreciate and agree with the core of your argument here, but it's not very useful for me. I am that leader who is setting the example. We aren't endlessly changing tools, it's a new project. It's not another layer on

Yes. Of course, the business would also receive a tax credit for all the CO2 being sequestered by employees eating food. /s Also, your 25 tons number is wildly wrong. It's simple to work it out on the back of an envelope: CO2 is a

Any major tech stack will work fine. I assume “real time alerts” will need an integration with a 3rd-party notification provider (email, sms, etc) and the bulk of your business logic will be defined with whoever is providing your share pric

Likewise. It’s superb, and I haven’t had an issue getting developers (though half have been Ruby devs who picked it up easily).

Anecdotally: flash games got a LOT of plays because of that play style. I was a kid at the time, and released a few crappy flash games (“Tilt” where you literally just had to balance a plate on your cursor). Over 5 years it go something lik

I used Kiba (but not Pro) to setup ETL pipelines at the Beano, and found it great to work with. Thibault was nothing but helpful at the time, I can imagine this is going to be very useful for folks doing data work in Ruby for whatever reaso

Hi - I'm the creator of this. It's a new format I'm trying out — recorded versions of questions I get asked a lot as a developer in the startup scene. A big part of it is also finding gaps in my advice/knowledge so I can

I help founders hire technical staff, or find co-founders. I’m not a recruiter - I’m a CTO who’s done a lot of hiring myself, and it’s more about how to understand who you need and how to talk to them. (I’m currently working on some free re

Send me a message (email in profile) and I can do a mock interview with you and give some feedback. Outside of technical ability I look for people skills, communication, reliability, self sufficiency. Where are you applying? Aside from iOS

I made the transition a few years ago, and wished this article had been written back then - it contains 90% of what I needed to know. Hopefully it will help you too, even though it’s not a formal course. https://github.com/w

I don’t associate hard/soft with difficult like that (I personally find soft skills difficult), but this is a good example of how the terms are ripe for misunderstanding. I try to use communication or personal or interpersonal skills,

"I'm paranoid enough to be worried about an email beacon. But instead of protecting myself with a secure client or text-only mode, I'd like to trust that people aren't going to track me." Right.
