I believe plenty of people do it for a leisure activity rather than to make a living. Sort of like putting puzzles together or surfing the web. Some workers may even be at a dull job (such as a tollbooth operator at night) and their boss do

All forward looking statements are guesses but... I see a strong movement toward Elixir from Ruby devs (and others, I'm not a Rubyist) and I expect Phoenix to be one of the main frameworks in the next few years. It's due to a comb

There seem to be plenty that lean toward non-mainstream practices. However the one I go to was fully planning to have a career as an MD but converted to chiropractic after it helped him with his own health. He tells me that building core mu

I added a function to my bash that forces me to do pushups every 30 minutes (by turning off my monitor and keyboard). https://gist.github.com/jerel/1fc7686263c9427522f945f755e0a7... An hour after I start work in the mo

I live in a rural area and have fiber to the home from our electric co-op. It's amazing: $99 symmetric gigabit and rock solid service. On the other hand AT&T is the phone provider here and selling DSL is the least of their worries.

From what I've read (I'm not an expert either) nginx is completely optional. Cowboy (used by Phoenix) supports https termination and I understand that it's the router for Heroku so it sees plenty of traffic.

Another Django -> Phoenix dev here. Currently I miss Django's model field types (UrlField, EmailField, etc) and will probably write them if no one else does soon. I sometimes miss South style migrations when I'm prototyping but

As a dev that used Python for the majority of projects I skipped over Elixir when I first saw it based on just a quick scan of the home page. "What? A dynamic, functional, compiled language that looks a little like Ruby? Why would I sp

The best alternative that I've used for end user support is Remote Utilities: https://www.remoteutilities.com/ They have an executable that non-technical users can easily download + run in addition to a version for una

Let's say that currently rent is $1,000 per month, food is $500, and Alice is earning $2,500. Now UBI is implemented and Alice and all fellow citizens receive $1,000 per month. What will keep the market from easing the entry level rent

I tried every variation I could get to work including tornado, asyncio, and pypy. In my simple "how many websockets can I open" tests python would start erroring by 10,000 (no Django, just an empty websocket) while node hit 40,00

I use the same architecture... DRF for the API, admin for quick data manipulation, Ember for the interface and I enjoy it immensely. I am learning Phoenix because it would allow me to handle bidirectional communication in the same codebase

I primarily use Django REST Framework for APIs... has anyone moved from Django to Phoenix and can give a report on how the developer productivity compares currently? If it's not there yet I'm sure it will get there as the communit

Singing does use a different part of the brain than speech and it would be interesting to know if it's similar to listening to whistling. Someone in my family used to stutter badly but their singing has always been flawless

Real-time asset tracking (GPS) with a non-terrible user interface. I'll get a good marketing page done someday; currently it's spreading via a vendor I made friends with (see above).

I've also found the convention over configuration feature to help when I'm a lone developer working multiple projects. I often work on something (perhaps a side project) and then abandon it for a couple months. When I return I jus
