   Just for the sake of multiplatformability... Is there something remotely as good as 1Password for Linux?

   So you absolutely must use Yubikey for 2factor auth instead of one of the many alternatives?

   Whew, I was on the fence between this and 1Password after Mitro shut down, just a couple days ago... Glad I went with 1Password LOL

   I used to work for those sorts of companies. I fired them because I'm a mature professional who can figure out how best to utilize my time, TYVM. Find a company that people actually enjoy coming to work and collaborating in. I mean, if

   Assuming state isn't stored in the processes (which it typically isn't in Erlang) and is instead in Riak, I believe it would be Riak's responsibility to resolve the split. Which it is likely capable of doing.

    Many of the advantages of microservices can be achieved by refactoring your monolith code to be less monolithic. I would suggest using functional styles wherever possible, plenty of isolated unit testable code, and a hexagonal architecture

    Elixir all the way. The earlier you get in on this wave, the better for you... although it may take a year before the offers start rolling in. Just find whatever work you can now in it or at least pick up the basics. It's fun!!

    It does kind of make sense to me that user-owned things should kind of live in /Users/username. Unfortunately that pattern in this case would lead to the redundant-seeming /Users/username/usr/local, but at le

    If variables don't mutate, all it means is that the memory location that stores the value of that variable is guaranteed to never change. Thus, if you reassign that same-named variable, it actually points to a new memory location wit

    Dude that's not a mutation that's a rebinding. You do not understand the difference, and it is an important one. Again, Elixir does not create mutation where in Erlang there was none. There is no mutation. They decided to allow

    Where does Elixir allow mutable variables? AFAIK, it does not. Syntactically it might look like it allows mutable variables, but it actually does not.

    This may be a perennial issue with functional langs, but using a functional lang only made sense to me after working with OO problems for YEARS. You'll see quite a few people commenting in this thread (including me) who have spent some

    Elixir (probably due to the Erlang roots) seems to actively make it hard for you to hold onto state. This ends up (in my experience) being a good thing... or at least a brain-stretching thing that may lead to fewer bugs on larger projects.

    I worked for thredup.com when it was brand-new and we used Rails when it was still fairly new and we had a pretty good time all things considered. You just have to be a capable programmer. ;)
