> Also, I wish they had a ORM like Sequel. These two are really what is holding me back from going full in on Elixir. Anyone can care to comment on this? May be a matter of semantics, but the concept of ORM simply can't exist in a f

Also curious to see how it works out, but this model isn't novel. Shopify has done similar things in the past for its ecosystem. I ended up getting funded to build a Shopify app, and they were pretty easy to work with. As far as I can

This is less a problem with the code being well commented and more a problem with it being difficult to understand. Comments can help clarify a difficult to understand block of code, but they don't make that code more readable, which d

Usually, when learning something, I have a project to work on to apply my knowledge to. I find that I'll start by searching for some good resources. This is typically books, blogs, subreddits, screencasts, awesome-X, etc. Then I'l

I responded to a different thread with this, but she wasn't actually pardoned. Her sentence was commuted, or shortened. Formally this means she hasn't been forgiven for the crimes.

Don't mean to be a pendant, but he didn't pardon her. Officially her punishment was commuted. The former forgives the crime and the latter simply reduces the penalty for the crime.

It's the counting down part I consider to be rude and demeaning. In addition to that I feel like it encourages people to cram as much as they can into as little time as possible, which kind of defeats the purpose. The goal of time boxi

The author identified three potential pitfalls of stand ups and suggested not doing them if you fit into those three categories. Title comes off as a blanket statement, but I didn't get that feeling from the rest of the article.

I would refuse to go to any meeting where I was asked to talk and then had someone counting down from 15 the second I started. I understand why you're doing it, but it comes off as rude and demeaning to me. My stand ups are time boxes

Agreed. I sit next to a manager who is on the phone all day and all I can think is how much I wish he had his own office so I could get actual work done.

Not sure I agree with you. I'd expect most of the users of this site would actually do a pretty good job identifying risks. The delusional part is probably assuming Elon Musk hasn't already thought through these risks, along with

Identifying risk is one of the most valuable things startups can be doing. Ignoring that risk can be one of the most detrimental things. Good entrepreneurs treat that risk as opportunity. Bad entrepreneurs are paralyzed by it. "Reasons

DevOps is a set of practices we should all be using, not a job title. Operations Engineer would be a better title, and they aren't ever going anywhere. DevOps Engineer is a job title -- one that I'm not a big fan of.
