The company moved into a new office for a few months that had terrible cell service inside the building. Everyone had to do phone calls outside. But having Fi meant I could do everything on wi-fi. I think it's only a matter of time bef

I'm especially fond of his description of boundaries and the trade-offs of different kinds of contracts between bounded contexts. There's also a lot of good insight into how we abuse the database and couple ourselves to it for the

Lift some weights. It might seem unrelated, but it's very crucial to improving your ability to deal with anxiety of all kinds. If you don't have experience around weight training equipment, then pay for small group training. Not o

> "I think Elixir has reached peak adoption" I'd say the opposite. Core libraries have reached stability and engineering hours are switching to making easy what classic imperative/OOP paradigms have trouble doing: - D

I started learning Ruby/Rails early last year. After building a couple projects in Rails for some clients, I switched to learning Elixir/Phoenix instead. Rails has a lot of magic and implicit behavior you need to learn to use effe

Best investment I've ever made is a small-group training membership. The workout is good, but learning the exercises I can do in my bedroom when I'm feeling restless is priceless. Very enabling.

Nothing wrong with Rails, especially if the team knows it well. Time to develop is the real cost in software most of the time. If Github wanted to integrate a lot of real-time features, then Elixir + Phoenix can't be beat. Depending on

I think I'd rather technology be dispersed without regulatory impedance. There's still the problem of how to reward/incentivize innovation and development of new technology, but maybe the benefits outweigh the costs or there&

Both are great reads. Fire Upon the Deep had some cooler concepts, but narrative-wise I prefer Deepness in the sky. The emotional response I had to the memory-control-slavery aspects made my blood boil.

Don't even need Ajax anymore. You can render on the fly, and deliver new HTML over websockets. The gap between SPA and classic server-side rendering is getting smaller fast. https://youtu.be/Z2DU0qLfPIY?t=14m58s

I'm also doing Startup School and I like the approach so far. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the scale of the current number of companies. Lectures are easy to post online, and homework/exercises are easy to dist

Elixir is fantastic, especially in these use cases because it allows for stateful in-memory representations of an entity with less development burdens than elsewhere. I find it useful to have a GenServer for complex entities like state mach

UBI is probably a bit too far in one direction to be a palatable solution. However Healthcare not being a financial concern for an individual or family is a very compelling idea. But can a universal healthcare system resolve many of the eme

I think it's more intended to be utilized as an abstraction in something like Apollo. It'll be interesting to see what sort of cleaner patterns emerge out of using Contexts under the hood.

I feel like the direction web and applications in general are heading is that of near-native performance in a sand-boxed execution environment managed by something like a browser. This potential is what excites me the most about webassembly

I'm in love with the simple explicit composability of everything in the Elixir ecosystem. In Phoenix everything is a pipeline from the connection leading down through the routes, controller, etc. Phoenix is just a plug in a Mix applica

I don't think mining is the best application of utilizing client side connections. But surely we can find profitable ways to distribute computation. I'd be willing to divert the resources of a small sandboxed vm of sorts to websit

One of the biggest concerns I hear about UBI is where the money comes from. I think think your point about eliminating the welfare state systems is a big part of the solution. Think of all the bureaucratic cruft that exists right now and ho
