The issue I take with this opinion as noted above, it selects for people who have available time. I am genuinely interested in programming, but I come home and spend time with my 4 month old son. I think the "more than just a 9-5"

Seems reasonable enough. I just feel like shouting from the rooftops "redis is not a queue server" but you already know that :)

Fair point. Why then persist to redis, rather than using something like mnesia and keeping it all in Elixir? Is there a compelling reason to add an additional piece of tech in my stack?

I don't understand why we're rebuilding Resqueue/Sidekiq in Elixir. This seems like a problem which is solved largely by OTP. Yes there are issues with back-pressure and over-filling mailboxes, but I can't help but wonde

I started using Red Pen when I was working with Katie (who is a rocking designer) at one of my previous jobs. I've then taken Red Pen and used it at a bunch of other places now. I've always ended up with bunches of printed mockups

To me it seems that all this talk of "Google took away my data" is rather silly. From what I can tell, Google Analytics previously would get keyword data from referrer data, which is not passed on when using https. Thus the lack o

I'd wager that Azure is targeting a very different part of the market. There were some really handy things in Azure, and there's some really handy things about Digital Ocean. In the end, Azure is not chasing people who only want t

To go full snark, surely you'd need to append: "from the well-thats-not-very-exciting dept."

I may be dense, but this does seem like a slow follower to Prismatic and co. It's interesting in a way: kind of pretty, but it doesn't seem like it's going to change my world. Of course, I half expect to be proven wrong becau

Disclaimer: I'm a Ninefold employee. I can see how that claim could sound pretty ludicrous. A startup coming from nothing isn't going to get $100 Million to spend on hardware. We're backed by a publicly listed Australian comp

I was hired as a technical community manager/evangelist. I've chosen to take on neither of those titles in the few months that I've been in this position. I've been a dev since high school and still consider myself to be one (although somet
