I have no experience in this so take my opinion with a grain of salt but what about charging for support contracts? While the project is open source and anybody could make changes/fixes it isn't always an option for a company to h

I also started doing this and I believe that I found LeanPub from you years back. I started in 2013 doing a book on XML and C# and made ~$20 from it. I never finished and never marketed. That book idea got picked up by Apress and the full n

I think as the language grows more mainstream traction you'll see people from other languages gravitate towards Elixir instead of just people from Ruby. I do feel like an outsider as I recently moved to Elixir after doing 6 years of C#

Just FYI, .NET Core is at 1.0 and already has a LTS version. It is definitely production ready now.

They are in their 7th year of operation so they aren't going anywhere soon. It is interesting because in the beginning they got all of their cabinets and games from dumps and would fix them up and get them running. They create new cabi

My favorite is the Hindley-Milner type system algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindley%E2%80%93Milner_type_sy... It is what is used in ML based languages to infer type and apparently Haskell uses it a bit too

I think the golden age of arcade gaming has been over for quite some time. Consoles and PC gaming have taken the need of the arcade away from a lot of people. Consoles and PCs are now the target for games rather than arcade cabinets. That s

Government agencies and national labs would hire Mathematics/Science PhDs. But without knowing what you consider esoteric it would be hard to put together a more detailed list.

Write documentation. Good documentation is hard to find for a lot of open source software.

I'm going to preface this with the fact that it has been a couple years since I implemented this and so my memory may be a bit hazy but here we go... We sent XML that was signed with public/private keys and we just used XPath to f

At one of my jobs we used a 3rd party library for .NET to do our licensing but then we decided to roll our own. By rolling our own we got the benefit of doing things that wouldn't be available in commercial solutions. For instance, we

In a sense, yes. I know Ionic uses Cordova to create it's applications. I'm not sure what other frameworks use it as a building block as well.

If you don't mind sharing, why do you want somebody that focuses/specializes in developers?

I had never really finished a side project until recently. First one was something I was going to sell. It took over a year because of changing UI and redoing a lot of stuff (unnecessarily) but I managed some sort of soft launch. My most re

In the Chicago area it isn't that hard at all, provided you know Java or .NET. I know people who have had no problem getting jobs here and they were less than stellar developers (to put it nicely)

I use Wave, but it is only myself. I like it because it has the small bank that I use for my business account and it is free (I have ~$130 in my business bank account so free helps a lot) but has upgrades. You can do basic accounting as wel

Thanks. I misspoke, I meant to that I want to use it as a testing device and not a development device. I don't think I could do development on a 13" laptop let alone a tablet

I use it for networking with recruiters. I get to see jobs that are posted from 50+ people (I have a small network) and get to decide what I want to reach out for. I was able to land a gig at a clearing company because I saw a post that a r

How about for app development? I got a small Windows 10 Chinese tablet that I want to use for testing Windows 10 UWP apps but don't want to open it (haven't had time to use it yet) if it wouldn't be worth it.

I also suggest trying to create an application and then work through the docs when you run into issues. I learned more from creating a mix task and reading the Elixir docs (which are amazing) than from the books I purchased

I bought Programming Elixir 1.3, Metaprogramming Elixir and Programming Phoenix and started from there. Unfortunately I feel like I wasted my money on Programming Elixir and Programming Phoenix. The docs for both are Elixir and Phoenix are

Currently learning Elixir/Phoenix as well as web development in general. I've done desktop and a small intranet site throughout my career so this is new to me.

Depends on the industry and location and what you consider freelance/contractor. There a bunch of contractor jobs in Chicago but they are in fact W2 (full time employees) you just work for the firm doing the contracting. Corp to corp e

People become freelancers/contractors because it typically pays better than full time gigs as well as allows the individual to pick what they work on. There are many reasons why organizations use freelancers/contractors but at the

You can hit them more than once, depending on your target audience. I posted my library to /r/elixir and then to /r/programming. Admittedly it didn't do well on /r/programming but it got some views

To be honest, I listen to what the new shiny is from places like Reddit and HN and take a look into it. If it seems interesting and has features or does things well that my go to language (C#) doesn't have then I dive deeper. For insta
