Yeah, for some use-cases the Django Admin and everything-spawns-from-the-model approach can go from nothing to CRUD in a ridiculous time. Phoenix is ludicrously quick to get from zero to realtime UI and interesting backend work such as poll

If you need to work in Belgium I can imagine the problem. Though I've dealt with at least 4-5 Elixir companies just in Sweden. If remote is an option there's really no shortage of people looking for experienced devs from what I&#x

I had an Ullman Niteflite at a previous job. Everyone did. Best chair I've used. So after realizing both IKEA Markus and a gaming chair were just murder on my back I ended up getting one as I was improving my office. Works great. High

"relentlessly productive" really resonates with my view of Erlang/OTP. I do Elixir which sits on top of it but that remains. I think Erlang is an uncommon language in that it seems to be foundationally constructed to build th

If someone says they get overwhelmed by something, chances are decent there is something overwhelming about it. Web is a large domain of knowledge. It isn't particularly hard in terms of math, algorithms or mysterious unknown proprieta

Hadn't heard of ActorDB. Interesting. But is it alive? Seems inactive.

Arguably, yes :)

I've had interesting exchanges with a guy who does work on CouchDB. That is built with Erlang and should scale quite well in what sounds like a resilient way. Haven't dug in. Horizontal scaling of the DB seems like a problem in ma

Really? I'm surprised that is your test bottleneck. I've mostly seen it be actually slow tests and things that can't be asynced.

From my recollection (interviewed OTP team on this stuff once) they don't really intend to go there either. They are a very small team comparatively and maintaining that kind of runtime optimization would likely be unwieldy. ( https:&#

Answering from similar experience. I personally use them both, dialyzer as part of the Elixir Language Server and typespecs when I feel something needs more clarity and definition. Depending on what itches your types scratch for you it migh

There will be no new builds. There is no hardware :)

OT. Using quill js on the frontend and a subset of that delta format handled on the backend. From conversation with Jose on Twitter.

It is a data point, not definitive. The language could be shrinking in comparison to everything an still be growing. I don't think that's the case but it wouldn't change anything for me. I don't work with a proportion of

It recently hit top 50 on one of the big lists of programming languages and I see more people getting into it every day. It is growing unless there's s lsrge drain hole somewhere. Might not be growing relative to other larger langs but

With google docs style collaborative editing, can connect to an existing cluster to run code in it. You can run one instance of the Livebook application and have different livebook docs run for different Elixir projects you happen to be wor

It is growing and having good adoption. Not a huge language but it also has a fair share of novel features (being built on Erlang) that aren't commonly seen with other langs. So I think it might have a disproportionate visibility compa

"but the upside is that there is no noticeable IO latency issues like when running Docker for Mac" Docker on Mac can be dog slow. This is appealing to me.

I dare say that Ecto does a lot of things quite differently. From my work with SQLAlchemy I never saw anything similar to changesets. I love working with Elixir but I would probably say that I found building queries in SQLAlchemy a bit more

The only Ultima game I was exposed to. I found it cool and exciting. Very frustrating, certainly. But I'd not played anything quite like it. I never back-tracked through the series.

I've been involved in interviewing for Elixir positions and found that we got more senior candidates than I've ever seen before. Part of it might have been pandemic displacement. But I'm not seeing a lack of work in my freela
